What are the benefits of coaching?

For the individual?

• Facilitating the learning and development of the coachee
• The coach encouraging the coachee to think differently and to become solution orientated
• Coachee develops greater awareness, grows in confidence and motivation increases
• Coaching gives the opportunity to reflect, to clarify and prioritise the important things and to maximise performance and success.
• A coach will help bring understanding to complex situations, facilitate the coachee to think things through and keep on track.
• Solutions which are self – generated, which the coach encourages, are owned by the coachee and as a result are more likely to result in related actions
• Coaching encourages behavioural change, which is usually sustained well beyond the end of the coaching contract
• The sustained behavioural change makes coaching a highly cost effective investment.

For the organisation?

• Flexibility in terms of when & where it is delivered
• Potentially less time away from the job than with other forms of development.
