Why Coaching?
According to surveys conducted by the International Coaching Federation, 98.5% of clients are satisfied with their coach and 83% of clients stay with their coach over three months, with an average working period of six months. Additionally, a survey of 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies concluded that a company's investment in providing coaching for executives realized an average return on investment of almost six times the cost of the coaching.
Individuals benefit most from coaching when new circumstances call for a change in the way things currently are. When success in a new situation requires a new level of polish or skill that has not been required in the past, coaching can be particularly useful. With all the pluses, it is clear that almost anyone can benefit from a coaching relationship.
For many professionals, who frequently receive little on-the-job coaching, Professional Coaching is often the lifeline to receiving important and reliable feedback. Without the benefit of Professional Coaching, many professionals plateau and are unable to achieve the results they desire. For these individuals, more than anyone else in an organization, coaching can be a vital key to learning and development.
