“A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life.”
– John Wooden
When you think back to the coaches who stand out in your mind from your formative years, what do they all have in common? They likely weren’t remembered for their tactical genius or innovative playbook. No, the coaches you remember were the ones who took the time to support, guide and nurture you. You remember them for how they made you feel; how they believed in you, understood you and empowered you to reach your full potential.
Those coaches don’t disappear once you hang up the boots and leave the pitch. These influential leaders exist in business and are ready to invest in you – a business’ most important asset. They simply swapped the jersey and whistle for smart casual business attire.
Much like in sports, the benefits of workplace coaching and mentoring can be seen in an individual’s transformation inside and outside of the office. Coaches are partners in an organisation’s and team member’s success, always inspiring and motivating behind the scenes. The true mark of an experienced leadership coach is one who cultivates resilience, courage and growth from others and elevates performance.
If you’re wondering what the return on investment (ROI) is for leadership coaching, keep reading to learn coaching’s ROI on both the individual and the organisation.
Coaching holds up a mirror to you. It helps to identify your strengths, perceptions and areas for improvement. Coaches develop leaders who inspire and motivate by taking the time to listen and understand their unique perspectives and challenges, before seeking to help them overcome them.
Instead of giving direct answers, expert coaches ask leaders questions to encourage critical thinking and a solutions-driven mindset. Coaching is the one confidential place where leaders can admit their mistakes, discuss their concerns and work through failures without fearing repercussion.
Unshakeable self-confidence is built by cultivating personal resilience, courage and growth in these vulnerable moments. Coaching equips leaders with the fresh perspectives needed to view a situation in a new light, so they can make more informed decisions. Business and executive coaches instil a fresh mindset, renewed sense of purpose and an arsenal of new skills in promising leaders. An experienced coach will work with leaders to not only set realistic goals but also employ thoughtful strategies to help achieve them. When done correctly, a coaching experience can resonate long after the individual, group or team coaching ends.
Coaching in the workplace provides exponential ROI for a business. Employees seek a positive work culture and are loyal to the company when they find it. When teams see their organisation investing the time, money and care into them and their personal growth, they feel valued and supported. Companies who actively show leaders that they believe in them and their ability by offering coaching and mentoring opportunities see employees want to prepare for future leadership roles. Personal productivity and accountability increase in response to a company’s outward commitment to individual growth.
Arguably one of the most important reasons for investing in coaching and mentorship training as a business is the increase in employee retention. Often, high-performing team members look to leave an organisation when they feel stagnant, overwhelmed or burnout. Workplace coaching and mentoring mitigates the risk of top talent leaving a business by providing upward mobility and career progression. High performers want the opportunity to advance, grow and progress within an organisation to achieve long-term professional fulfilment. With dedicated coaching, leaders will gain a better understanding of why their work matters and why they, and their skills, matter to the business. Having a company’s backing and belief prevent valuable expertise and experience from walking out the door.
