Why do we need coaching?
It's essential to achieve our potential. Think about sport; would you send a Premiership football team or a champion tennis player into competition without coaching them?
Or would you try to drive an expensive car tens of thousands of miles without refuelling and regularly servicing it? It wouldn't work, would it?
What's it worth for the company and me?
We know that in today's individualistic culture people make up their own minds about their level of commitment. Coaching facilitates good decision-making here. And the return on this investment in people can be immense! Spend £15,000 in coaching for 5 key senior people: their increased commitment and performance can easily add 2% to your profit margin through gain in sales, market share and cost reduction. For every £70 million turnover that's £1.4 million! Think what that does to you own and your company's reputation – and to your bonus!
