Choosing the right coach

In general, the coaching process begins with a personal interview (face to face or by phone or online platform) in order to evaluate the objectives of the client, to describe the shape that can take the coaching relationship and feel if there is a possible affinity between the coach and the potential client. It is recommended to see at least two or three coaches before choosing the coach who seems to suit best.

A growing number of organizations recognize the value in building a coaching culture that offers employees at all levels the opportunity to grow their skills, enhance their value and reach their professional goals.

Investing in coaching pays off: Coaching can shift your organization’s culture by moving away from a command and control leadership style to collaboration and creativity. Organizations with strong coaching cultures report that 61 percent of their employees are highly engaged, compared to 53 percent from organizations without strong coaching cultures. Organizations with strong coaching cultures also report above-average revenue growth in relation to industry peers.

Organizations with strong coaching cultures are committed to rigorous professional standards for external coach practitioners, internal coach practitioners and managers/leaders using coaching skills.
