| Typical Benefits Resulting From Coaching |
Finding something tangible to grab hold of when it comes to the benefits expected or experienced through the coaching process quite difficult. This is because each client arrives with unique problems waiting a solution, and unique expectations of what the end result should look and feel like.
To obtain a snapshot of what was being experienced in real life, the International Coach Federation conducted a survey to determine the experiences of people who have worked with coaches. The statistics shown in the white box below are taken from these results. |
