The Benefits of Executive Coaching for the Organisation

Research shows that Return on Investment in coaching can be as high as 700% in bottom line results: targets met more quickly and efficiently, significant increase in profit; high levels of staff retention; substantial increases in staff satisfaction.

But in addition to the metrics

  • Transitions will be managed more effectively
  • Important relationships enhanced
  • Skills and strengths will be used more appropriately
  • Potential de-railing behaviours will be challenged
  • Potential burn out can be spotted and prevented
  • Retention and development of the talent needed to take the organisation forward

Benefits for You - the individual client

Coaching can establish, fine-tune and rebuild the competencies that you need to do the job well – and still have a life.  Away from the same old environment with its same old distractions, you can reflect on your skills, your career and your life far more objectively. 

The more senior you are, the lonelier it is likely to be.  The claim that there is no one to talk to is not just an empty piece of rhetoric – our experience is that this is all too true.  

  • Your coach listens without judgment and is unshockable – and how often does real listening happen in your life?  Mostly what we experience is the pretend listening of the ‘I hear what you say…BUT’ variety
  • Your coach can offer you, with your permission, objective, candid feedback
  • You can get to grips with discrepancies between how you see yourself and how others see you
  • You will recognise and accept what you’re really good at – your coach will challenge the common tendency to over-emphasise the negative and discount the positive
  • You can find solutions to the common problems of senior leaderships roles:
    • How to meet demanding targets at the same time as retaining the loyalty and trust of staff
    • How to lead change when the organisation has scarcely had time to draw breath from the last one
    • Surviving and thriving during the first 100 days in a new job
    • Understanding yourself better and your impact on others
    • Presentations and meetings
    • Do I look the part? Have I got the right image for the job - either the job I'm doing or the one I'm aspiring to do? Do I make the best kind of personal impact?
    • How to manage anxiety about performance - am I good enough? Do I know enough?
    • Where do I go next in my career?
