Good coaching is powerful and produces amazing changes in the way individuals and teams work. In a CIPD survey “Does coaching work?” conducted in 2005:
91% of organisations using external coaching providers reported it to be effective, and
96% of individuals coached reported an positive impact on performance.
Reported benefits include:

- Improved confidence
- More enthusiasm, commitment and action-focus
- More initiative
- Better management of challenging people
