- What does an executive coach actually do?
- An executive coach is a confidential thinking partner who helps CEOs, business owners, and senior leaders sharpen their strategy, decision-making, communication, and team performance. At Blais + Associates we combine 30+ years of real operating experience with proven coaching methodology so the work translates to measurable business outcomes.
- How is business coaching different from executive coaching?
- Executive coaching is focused on you as a leader — your clarity, presence, and effectiveness. Business coaching is focused on the company — strategic planning, sales and marketing execution, organizational alignment, and growth. Most of our engagements blend both.
- Who do you typically work with?
- Business owners, CEOs, presidents, key executives, and high-potential leaders across various industries and business sizes — from startups to multi-billion dollar enterprises.
- Where are you located and do you work remotely?
- We're based in Cincinnati, Ohio and serve clients nationwide. Engagements are delivered in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format depending on what works best for you and your team.
- How do we get started?
- Every engagement begins with a complimentary discovery conversation. Reach Jerry directly at jblais@blaisplus.com or 412-302-4298.
