💡 Thinking about coaching but not sure which type you actually need?  

You’re not alone.

A lot of working adults hear terms like “workplace coaching” and “leadership coaching” and immediately think:
“Okay… which one is for me?”

They sound similar, but the focus and the outcome is very different.
Choosing the right one helps you get clarity faster, grow with intention, and stop feeling like you’re trying to “fix everything” alone.

Let’s break it down simply.

🏢 What Is Workplace Coaching?

Workplace coaching helps you navigate challenges inside your current role.
It’s practical, skills-focused, and centered around helping you show up better at work without burning out or losing yourself.

Workplace Coaching Usually Covers:

• Communication & teamwork
• Handling stress and workload
• Boundaries at work
• Productivity & time management
• Managing expectations
• Navigating workplace conflicts
• Strengthening performance in your role

Who It’s Ideal For:

People who want to:
✔ stop feeling overwhelmed at work
✔ communicate more effectively
✔ improve performance
✔ navigate workplace challenges better
✔ grow within their current organization

In short: Workplace coaching =
👉 “How do I function better at work and feel more in control?”

👑 What Is Leadership Coaching?

Leadership coaching is personal, strategic, and focused on who you are becoming as a leader, not just what you do at work.

It’s about your identity, presence, decision-making, emotional intelligence, and how you influence others.

Leadership Coaching Usually Covers:

• Executive presence
• Leading people well
• Self-awareness as a leader
• Emotional intelligence
• Decision-making under pressure
• Managing conflicts with confidence
• Building influence (not authority)
• Evolving your leadership identity

Who It’s Ideal For:

People who want to:
✔ step into leadership roles
✔ manage others confidently
✔ understand their leadership style
✔ build emotional intelligence
✔ grow beyond task-based performance

In short: Leadership coaching =
👉 “How do I lead people with clarity, confidence, and authenticity?”

• “Work is overwhelming and I need clarity.”
