When You've Stopped Growing with Your Executive Coach.

The article focuses on recognizing and addressing plateaus in executive coaching relationships. It explains that such plateaus may indicate either a natural, deeper stage of personal growth or a misalignment between coach and client, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between productive discomfort and relational mismatch.
