The Sherpa method works because it’s process-driven. It’s goal-specific and time-specific. Each engagement is divided into six precise phases focusing on:

• discovering the "real" client through self-inspection
• the client’s capacity for change
• discovery of the client’s specific weaknesses and expectations
• setting a path toward definitive improvement using specific tools offering eye-opening understanding and potential solutions
• reinforcing the client’s commitment to change and accountability
• the client’s commitment to long-term success

Corbett and Colemon literally ‘wrote the book’ on executive coaching, "The Sherpa Guide – Process-Driven Executive Coaching." Their method has become the industry standard and Sherpa Coaching is the only executive coaching curriculum being taught at business schools such as The University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Kent State University, University of Louisville, and Penn State.
