FAQs

Executive Coaching is a proven way to develop individual, team, and organizational performance across industries. A Metrix Global study found that executive coaching has a 788% return on investment (ROI) based on factors including increases in productivity and employee retention. What kind of results can you expect through providing coaching at work? The International Coaching Federation (ICF) reports the following statistics on the benefits of executive coaching:

• 70% increase in individual performance
• 50% increase in team performance
• 48% increase in organizational performance

Organizations that offer training alone experience a 22% increase in productivity, but when combined with coaching, that figure rises to 88% (Gerald Olivero, Denise Bane & Richard Kopelman, Public Personnel Management).
