From the boardroom to the manufacturing floor, more and more forward-thinking organizations are including coaching as a major component in their leadership and professional development, and as a vehicle to help shift their cultures in order to more effectively support their people.
In a 2009 study of the professional coaching industry by the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD), they found that coaching was used by 90 percent of organizations surveyed, and that, even in the economic downturn, 70 percent report that they are increasing or maintaining their commitment to coaching.
In fact, it’s probably more difficult today to name a Fortune 1000 company that doesn’t include a coaching program than it is to name one that does.
Organizations with coaching programs report an ROI of almost 6 times their investment.
Despite its rapid growth over the last 20 years, it’s surprising how few people understand the coaching process; what it is, as well as what it isn’t.
Coaching is a distinct service and differs greatly from therapy, consulting, mentoring or training. Individuals who engage in a coaching relationship can expect:
To experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities
Enhanced thinking and decision-making skills
Enhanced interpersonal effectiveness
Increased confidence in carrying out their chosen work and life roles.
