Benefits of coaching

Coaching is a person-centred activity; working with individuals in this way makes them feel valued which has an immediate effect upon their motivation and therefore their performance. Addressing individual needs means that budgets can be allocated more specifically and outcomes can be more readily measured. Coaching is a flexible approach “ it can be used within organizations and environments where it is not generally possible to take whole groups of staff away for off-the-job, formal training. Equally, it can be used to address one-off needs as and when they arise. The organization therefore gets performance- related development in a more cost-effective and flexible way. Individuals gain practical and realistic help to achieve their full potential and work on their areas of weakness “ they get targeted , practical development from coaching, where training tends to be broader and looser and requires follow-up within the workplace if it is to be effective.
