“Workplace coaching unlocks the potential of the coachee. Coaching is a facilitative approach, in which the coach enables future self-directed learning and development” Passmore & Lai 2019)

As the common saying goes, “give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.”

Coaching typically happens over a set period of time, but it produces timeless benefits and results. When done well, coaching helps the individual discover and use what they already know, helping them learn for themselves and untap their true potential.

But what do the statistics say? What is the numerical value of coaching?

• Average performance levels increase by 17% in employees who receive dedicated executive coaching
