  • What kind of return can we expect from your coaching and leadership development programs?

    Organizations often see a significant return on investment, averaging $7.90 for every dollar spent on coaching (International Coach Federation, 2020). 



    Additionally, our leadership development programs that include EQ assessments, workshops, and the Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder-Centered Coaching typically result in:


    - 10-20% higher employee retention and engagement (Institute for Corporate Productivity); and


    - Up to 25% boost in performance (International Coach Federation). 



    Investing in these comprehensive services enhances productivity and strengthens your organization.

  • How do you measure the effectiveness of your programs?

    We start with a current capabilities assessment to establish a baseline for each participant. 


    From there, we measure progress over time using a combination of pre- and post-program evaluations, performance reviews, and feedback from stakeholders. 


    This approach allows us to effectively track improvements in leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, that contribute to overall organizational performance.
