Increase coaching ROI

Align culture and KPIs

Innovate faster with excellence

You know coaching works.

You’ve seen it in action, maybe in your own work.

Your C-suite thinks it works.

So when it comes time for you to get budget, because they just think coaching works, they ask you a tough question: “What’s the ROI on this coaching initiative investment?”

How do you respond?

Like a deer in the headlights?

Suddenly have Zoom connection trouble?

Stammer and say something like, “Well, you know, it helps so many people in the company . . .” as your voice drifts off.

Maybe you get some budget.

Maybe nothing like what you asked for.

Or worse, your C-sponsor says, “We had to make some cuts and unfortunately your coaching initiative was one.”

Now imagine a very different conversation.

What if instead your C-sponsor says:

“We’ve all been quite impressed by your coaching for culture results for this year. Engagement is up. Productivity rose dramatically. Customer satisfaction is off the charts compared to last year. We’d like to talk about how we can elevate your efforts beyond your budget request. Have you got a few extra minutes to talk about that?”

So which conversation would you like to hear?

Coaching in a negative work culture is ineffective.

Sure, you know coaching works, but coaching in a negative culture is like putting a band-aid on a compound fracture.

Gallup found that companies who do very little to create a positive work culture have a 48% employee turnover rate. That costs the company up to 2.5x the position’s salary to find and train the next person.

Negative culture companies experience a 33% loss in operating income and 19% loss in revenue growth.

Which conversation do you think the C-sponsor has in such companies?

Is there any wonder you can’t get the budget you want when the company is bleeding cash?

Coaching in a positive work culture is so much more effective

Coaching in a positive work culture is like buying a coach seat on an international flight and getting upgraded for free to first-class.

Gallup discovered that companies who create a positive work culture increase employee engagement by 30%. This culture improvement translates right to the company bottom line: 19% increase in operating income and a 28% revenue growth.

Which conversation do you think the C-sponsor has in a positive culture company?

Of course, you get more budget than you asked for in this kind of company.

Which conversation do you want to hear?

Coaching for a positive culture gets positive, measurable results.

Coaching for the sake of coaching is often effective but isn’t measurable in most companies except the ones where operating income and revenue growth is way down. Then everybody measures what they can—the bottom line—and your budget gets cut.

Coaching for culture pays larger dividends because you engage team members through coaching from a framework that creates a positive work culture.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Download this Harvard Business Review article that focuses on the dramatic effects a positive work culture has on company results.

While you’re at it, go ahead and download our compilation of research from other sources.

Share both with your C-sponsor. Say, “This is what we need to do!”

The research all points to the same reality: a positive work culture attracts top talent, reduces team turnover and increases productivity and profits.

The question is: will your company do what it takes to create a positive work culture through coaching?

Or, will it cut budget until your coaching initiative dries up and dies because of a negative culture?

You can get coach training from lots of providers.

They offer International Coach Federation (ICF)-approved programs just like we do.

Just know you’re throwing good money after bad when you divorce coaching from culture work.

The good news is you don’t have to waste your money.

You don’t have to watch your coaching initiative circle the bowl and disappear in a negative work culture.

You can get world-class coach training, approved by ICF—the gold standard in coaching certifications—AND world-class culture training,

BOTH in the same training program!
