People who engage a coach often experience benefits that include increased confidence, enhanced communication skills, and optimized individual and team performance.

​

An individual’s results from coaching will be tightly aligned with the goals they set with their coach at the start of the engagement. While a return on investment (ROI) in these engagements can be difficult to measure, an alternate way to measure the impact of your coaching engagement could be to measure your Return on Expectation (ROE), which gauges how your coaching results tie back to the objective you and your coach set at the outset of your work together.

​

For example, some organizations that use coaching widely within their enterprise apply self- rated snapshot surveys to gauge how a person feels about key indicators of success—such as confidence or time management—before, during and after a coaching engagement. In other instances, asking colleagues or team members to contribute to a 360o survey of your performance can help to set goals and measure growth through coaching.

​

Especially when working with organization leaders or team managers, coaching’s beneficial impacts flow beyond the individual receiving coaching.

​

Many coaching clients find the benefits of their coaching—such as improved self-awareness, communication skills and open-mindedness—positively impact their lives far beyond the original goals, including in their team dynamics and personal relationships. This might include increased performance from team members who feel more empowered and can more easily share ideas, or perhaps reduced stress at home due to an improved ability to listen to a partner or child.
