Reasons for coaching in organisations
In early days – coaching for everyone
In “violent opposition” times – coaching only for senior execs
Now swinging back to coaching for all levels
Use of one-to-one coaching
Support
Listen before you speak. Understand. Diagnose. Listen with your ears...and your eyes and heart.
Challenge
Take issues head on, even the “undiscussables.” Address the tough stuff directly. Acknowledge the unsaid.

Organisations now understand that coaching means support and challenge

“In terms of recruitment fees and training, we have made savings in the region of £250k-£300K in reduced attrition this year. This number does not include lost revenue for every day not charged out in the down time between a leaver and a new joiner starting, which for us is huge, and could take that saving well north of £500K.”
“Our engagement levels are the best for many years. We achieved a place on the Sunday Times top 100 small companies to work for list this year, and 3 star accreditation in the Best Companies survey.”
