Benefits and ROI for coaching
Just completed a series of coaching sessions for senior managers in a large County Council, and received some positive feedback.
- Stimulating and positive experience
- Changed some ways I'm doing things
- Had impact and will have impact on changes coming up
- Good to revisit plans and recent actions to explore issues at time of great change
- Good to have confidential, off-line discussions in depth
- Has made our senior management team meetings and processes more robust and processes more explicit
- Been really good to talk to neutral person about work issues, as can get set in old ways that become habits
- Helped us deal with a big assumption, that has saved us at least 6 months work!
- Was surprised by outcome from tackling difficult manager - all resolved happily now
- Helped me to 'manage up'
- You have a wealth of resources - useful tools and techniques to apply to our situations
- You listened and heard our issues/enjoyed opportunity to share current stuff
Often, I'm asked to 'justify' coaching and to list benefits and examples to prove that coaching has value. I hope some of the above anecdotal quotes help to answer those questions.
