Does coaching work?

In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer explores ‘Does coaching work?’ with Dr Gil Bozer, Dr Rebecca Jones and Dr Yi-Ling Lai. We ask whether coaching can really make a difference by exploring:

• What are the potential benefits of coaching?
• What do we mean by contracting and why is it important?
• How can the Return On Investment of coaching be measured?
• How is coaching perceived differently by organisations and individuals?
• Which coaching approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Solution Focused Coaching or the GROW model, are most effective?
• Which is better for the client: virtual or in-person coaching?
• How can coaching help with working from home?

We find out what Coaching Psychology research studies have revealed to us about the effectiveness of coaching in today’s society.
