Overview
Being a CEO gives you immense power to run an organization. However, it also comes with humongous responsibility. The stress of this huge duty often surpasses freedom and power. CEOs are often lonely as they are the sole decision-makers with hardly a confidant to discuss their problems and dilemmas. Coaching becomes crucial to be able to sharpen the decision-making skills and strive for a balance in life while ensuring growth for an organization. In today’s episode, David Noble discusses the importance of coaching the CEOs.
[00:40] – About David Noble

[02:33] – What are some common challenges faced by CEOs and top executives that you work with?
- People are under crushing pressure and accountability that normal humans don’t typically experience.
- CEOs are lonely people. They are accountable for everything. Everyone wants to be on their agenda, or to drive their own agenda through them.
- Having someone to talk to is really important for any CEO.
- Then, there are a vast array of issues that all relate to escalating volatility and uncertainty in the world.
[03:36] – How do you tailor your own coaching to approach specific needs of different levels of executives?
- It is always based on what the executives vision is for themselves in terms of what would a 10 out of 10 look like for me in this new role.
- It is going to depend on the particular experiences and the context that the leader is stepping into.
- But for first time CEOs, it is a unique situation, because they are by definition in a job that is bigger in scale and scope than they’ve ever had before.
[05:12] – How can CEOs balance their own personal lives and mental well-being, along with the demands of their professional careers?
- At least 50% of the CEOs that I work with are focused on clarifying or refining their personal meaning and purpose.
- I think it is most important to be crystal clear on what matters the most to you, and why you’re doing it.
- The second thing is that many CEOs, surprisingly, are quite selfless. They look at personal well-being versus organisational health as a trade-off.
- You have to look at it as a system. It is not like one less hour of sleep means so much more value creation for the organisation. It’s more like optimal sleep, optimal value creation.
