I love life and I am here to make a difference.

    FAQ

    What is the ROI of coaching?

    According to the ICF Global Coaching Study:

    • the mean ROI of coaching is 7
    • 86% of companies who invested in coaching made their investment back

    The study was conducted independently by PWC and ACR

    Who would benefit from coaching?

    Coaching is a partnership of trust and growth. It requires the individual to:

    • have a growth mindset – believing they have the capacity to learn and develop
    • want to be coached –  not doing it to tick a box or because their manager forced them to

    Specifically, my coaching is for Changemakers – leaders and high potentials who care about developing the people around them and making a difference in the world.

    How do we measure the effectiveness?

    We can do qualitative studies before and after the coaching to track shifts in key behaviours – for example, 360 assessment. 

    What is the difference between internal and external coaching?

    External coaching:

    • is unbiased and confidential – the coach does not lead the coachee to a pre-specified outcome which they think is right. Instead, the coach provides a safe and courageous space for the coachee to explore, reflect and choose the best option for them.
    • carries no judgment – the coach has no prior knowledge of the coachee and makes no assumptions about them as an employee
    • carries no vested interest – the coach cannot affect the coachee’s promotions, salaries etc. 

    With an external indepent coach the coachee can be fully authentic and honest about what is holding them back. This means we can address the root cause of the issue much more directly and quickly.

    What topics does coaching address?

    Coaching works for all topics, including personal growth, team relationships, career and wellbeing.

    The best practice is for the coachee to explore key opportunity areas with their manager, and then to bring the relevant coaching topics to each session.

    One of the biggest benefits of coaching is that it allows leaders to address issues they would not share with their manager or HR. This includes personal fears and family problems. 

    How do you build trust?

    Trust is built throughout the coaching journey. Specifically:

    • The content of coaching sessions is confidential. The coachee chooses what to share with their manager or HR.
    • The coachee and I co-design our partnership, sharing expectations and clearing assumptions upfront. We re-design throughout the journey as needed.
    • As an external independent coach, I am unbiased and not leading the coachee to a pre-specified outcome. This helps them feel safe and to open up.
