What others say….
'…..of those surveyed the top three reasons coaches are engaged were to: develop high potentials and facilitate change [48%] act as a sounding board [26%] address derailing behaviour [12%]'
Harvard Business Review Research Report Jan 2009.
'…Coaching is taken for granted in the world of sport where individuals and teams have a coach to provide motivation, enhance skills and refine performance….Executive coaching works best when used to help individuals address specific professional development issues or to assist when taking on a particularly challenging work role of project.'
Institute of Directors 2009
'The Association of Coaching showed that executives who had undergone coaching were reporting higher levels of self awareness which then led to higher emotional intelligence. People and teams who are more aware and emotionally intelligent widen their choices and make better informed decisions.'
