In a recent webinar, the Velocity Advisory Group team joined Andy Glaub, SVP of U.S. Sales at Aflac, for a candid conversation about executive coaching: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters now more than ever.

The panel featured Bob Weinhold, Velocity EVP and head of executive coaching, along with seasoned Velocity coaches Tricia Seitz and Dr. James Smith, Jr. Over the course of an hour, they explored:

  • How executive coaching differs from mentoring or therapy by focusing on real business outcomes and holistic leadership growth
  • The essential role of trust, openness, and psychological safety in coaching relationships
  • What success in coaching actually looks like—from increased confidence to clearer decision-making
  • How great coaches flex their approach based on personality styles and assessment insights
  • The unique pressures leaders are facing today—from tech overload to staying connected in a distracted world
  • And why coaching isn’t just for the C-suite—anyone looking to level up their leadership can benefit

Executive coaching is a valuable tool for personal and professional grown that is about more than skill-building — it’s about unlocking potential. By helping leaders stay grounded, adaptable, and self-aware, coaching becomes a catalyst for lasting impact. As leadership challenges grow more complex, investing in your growth isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
