LMA Coaching
Coaching is a relationship between two people and learning is happening. It has become an accepted best practice in management development with a shift to personal, one-on-one development, not taking a prescribed path of development is also advantageous.
However coaching is expensive, in fact it is a luxury, and understanding its value is important as it must show a return on investment. Less than 30% of coaching schemes are ever appraised in relations to Return On Investment.
Coaching does have a high value as 92% of leaders who have been coached indicate they would hire one again. when the time is right
Coaching’s rapid growth in developing the capabilities of individuals, has produced different genres, all of which address the individuals development. They are captured through a range of coaching fields Development, Performance, Skills, and Transformation
Value is “the importance, worth or usefulness of something” but depending on the context can mean different things. In business terms, it means “what buyers are willing to pay for what a firm provides them.” The true value of coaching, is not just helping the individual achieve a goal, and therefore cannot be measured through ROI efficacy surveys.
A value of coaching is the individual develops a growth mindset through the process of coaching and the intrinsic rewards this brings. These genres cause problems calculating the value of coaching, many of the benefits are intangible and, consist of immeasurable outcomes, for instance ,wellbeing, innovation, creativity, lucidity and improved relationships.
Other benefits are more measurable and include increased sales, reduced levels of absenteeism, higher team morale. Added to this the very process of trying to measure the value of coaching by setting short term goals may alter the outcome of the coaching.
A large part of good coaching practice is listening. This is the first lever in my signature LMA Coaching Framework. By listening to the individual, the coach is enabling the coachee the space to solve the issue themselves, the coachee believe in themselves, they learn to set goals and organise their personal resources. The value in coaching is that it enables the individual to develop tools that can be used forever. This is how the LMA Coaching virtuous circle works.
