Value

Organizations of all types and sizes have experienced the value professional coaching brings, including: increased business performance, improved product quality, higher employee retention and morale, greater employee commitment, leadership development, conflict reduction, team building skills, and more.

A professional coach credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF) will support your organization, your staff, and your members in finding creative solutions and strategies to achieve specific business goals.

Coaching Clients are ‘Very Satisfied'
Results from two landmark research studies, the ICF Global Coaching Client Study and ICF Global Consumer Awareness Study (both commissioned by the ICF) show coaching clients are satisfied with their experience. In fact, the client study reported 83 percent of coaching clients being "very satisfied" with their coaching experience.

The Final Report of the ICF Global Coaching Client Study offers the unique perspectives of over 2,100 coaching clients from 64 countries. Data is analyzed on a global basis as well as by region, client type and type of coaching received. To purchase a copy of the 85-page Final Report, visit the ICF Shopping Cart today.

What is professional coaching?
The ICF defines coaching as a partnership with clients (organizations or individuals) in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Professional coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organizations improve their performances and achieve extraordinary results. Professional coaches work with clients in all areas, including business, career, finances, health and relationships. As a result of professional coaching, clients set better goals, take more action, make better decisions, and more fully use their natural strengths.

What is an ICF Credentialed Coach?
A coach who has been credentialed by the ICF has completed stringent education and experience requirements and has demonstrated a strong commitment to coaching excellence. ICF Credentialed coaches have received coach-specific training, achieved a designated number of experience hours and been coached by a mentor coach.
