The Value of Coaching

The last few weeks have seen me make several trips across Europe in my capacity as an organisational coach. Coaching is a unique way of gaining focus on what’s important, enabling the positives we have to be fully leveraged and equally as import, dealing with the elements of our behaviour that unwittingly inhibit us.

I have a view on when coaching is at its most useful and most respect. When mediocre performance for mediocre pay is what is expected then a coach will probably not be valued by either employer or employee. However in a number of the organisations I am privileged to work with, where peak performance is required and peak pay rewarded in return, then a coach can make an absolute difference and their contribution gladly sought by both parties to ensure this mutually beneficial contract is met.
