Coaching emphasizes the transfer of wisdom— most often, that which the client already possesses within, but has not yet found a way to tap. Is coaching effective? It is one of the quickest and effective ways to develop one’s self.
The International Coaching Federation conducted a survey with individuals who'd worked with coaches, and 99% of respondents said they were satisfied with the overall coaching experience. Additionally, 96% of those respondents said they would seek coaching again. (Source: ICF 2009 Global Coaching Client Study).
Another study of Fortune 100 executives conducted by Manchester Consulting Group discovered that coaching resulted in an ROI of nearly 6 times the cost of the coaching.
It isn’t a question of whether or not coaching is a value-add. It’s a matter of when you’re ready to get started.
