The benefits and true power of coaching is misunderstood by many organisations and not surprisingly. Firstly, it’s a relatively new personal development tool and secondly, it’s fairly intangible.

We believe that The Coaching Challenge can demonstrate the power of coaching by simply measuring its effectiveness, making it easier to understand the benefits and where it can add real value to your business.

The challenge

A target is set for a volunteer executive that is agreed upon with his or her line manager. The target has to be in keeping with targets usually set but slightly “stretched” (i.e. a bigger challenge than normal – perhaps a quarterly sales figure of £10,000 more than normal)

A sample of perhaps 5 volunteer executives take part

Where possible all variables and influences remain the same during the coaching period (i.e. incentives / bonuses remain in line with achievement, staff remain consistent etc)

The volunteers are coached over the pre-defined period to help them reach their targets

The measures

The ultimate measure is whether the targets are achieved or not
Consideration to be taken for situations beyond the individuals’ control

Additionally measures may include:
Pre and post self-completion development questionnaires
A qualitative depth interview with each volunteer
Quali-quant interviews with line managers and surrounding team
Appraisal review comparisons, where appropriate
