Maximising Potential

In all business climates executive coaching is an essential business investment, but how do you choose the product and provider that is right for your business?

Whether you choose Inspire Development and Coaching or an alternative provider, before embarking on such a potentially profitable investment, we believe you should ask yourself the following questions:

o For whom will coaching deliver the required return on investment?
o What level of coaching do they require?
o What intensity of coaching do they need?
o How can we ensure results delivery?
o What level of return on investment can you expect?
o What characteristics should you look for in choosing a coaching provider?

o Business leaders
o Those newly promoted to key roles
o Identified high potentials

What level of coaching do they require?

For each of these populations, we offer the following levels of coaching:

o Skills coaching – targeted one to one training in a critical knowledge skill of behaviour.
o Performance coaching – coaching for optimum performance in the current role.
o Development coaching - providing an environment for strategic thinking, reflection and challenge in order to deliver action and change. This is our distinctive area of competence.

What is the most appropriate coaching package?

o Bronze – six sessions of two hours duration each
o Silver – nine sessions of two and a half hours each
o Gold – monthly sessions over a twelve month period – up to a maximum of fourteen
o Platinum – unlimited one to one coaching access, combined with phone and e-mail support, for a period of six months

o Exploratory meeting with coachee –immediately after the meeting with the sponsor..
o Drafting the contract – with clear measures against which to monitor progress and results
o Coaching sessions – raising awareness and facilitating change through judicious challenge and support
o Call to action – the client delivers agreed actions, monitoring his / her progress and giving feedback to the organisation
o Evaluation of outcomes – once again, between the sponsor, coachee and coach to confirm achievement

What level of ROI should you expect?

o Research conducted in 2005 by consultant Mary Beth O’Neil showed ROI ranging from 6 to 10 times the initial financial outlay
