Clarity of purpose counts.

The more a company has a clear reason for using a coach, the more likely that its coaching process will be viewed as successful.

Purpose: boosting individual performance.

The desire to improve individual “performance / productivity” is the most widely cited purpose of coaching.

Coaching practices of HPO’s

It pays to interview. Having an interview with the prospective coach has the strongest relationship with reporting a successful coaching program.

Match the right coach with the right client.

Matching people according to expertise and personality seem to be the best strategies.

Evaluate the coach’s performance.

The more frequently respondents reported using a measurement method, the more likely they were to report success in their coaching programs.
