Executive Coaching Quizzes & Assessments

Executive coaching is coaching aimed at senior leaders — directors, C-suite executives, founders, and the teams around them. It differs from general life or career coaching in three practical ways: the buyer is usually an organisation rather than an individual, the engagement is normally contracted three ways between coach, coachee, and sponsor, and credibility has to be established before the first session rather than earned during it.

That makes readiness a real question rather than a mindset one. Most coaches moving into executive work are not held back by coaching skill; they are held back by commercial fluency — how organisations actually buy coaching, how to price at executive-market rates, and how to hold confidentiality cleanly in a three-way contract.

The demand is there. The 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study, conducted with PwC across 127 countries, counted a record 122,974 coach practitioners worldwide — up 15% since 2023 — and put annual industry revenue at an estimated USD 5.34 billion (source: International Coaching Federation, https://coachingfederation.org/blog/coaching-industry-continues-global-growth-with-5-34-billion-usd-revenue-new-research-reveals/). With that many practitioners in the market, specific positioning at senior level is what separates a full practice from an underbooked one.

The assessments on this page are free self-assessments. They take a few minutes, return a dimension-by-dimension picture rather than a single verdict, and end with a concrete next step.
