There are a lot of misconceptions and myths about coaching; the Chicago Tribune tackles several of these myths head on in their article titled Top 5 Personal Coaching Myths. We would like to put a spotlight on them individually, starting with their second pick: "Coaching is a nice employment perk." The myth that coaching is just an afterthought, a mere perk tossed in with the rest, is a common misconception.
The fact is, coaching results in increased productivity and satisfaction. Employees who chose to utilize their coach benefits experienced a 61% increase in job satisfaction. These same employees also enjoyed a whopping 48% increase in
quality as well as an impressive 67% improvement in teamwork. To top it off, according to the article, "a study of Fortune 500 telecommunications companies by MatrixGlobal found executive coaching resulted in a 529 percent ROI." In other words, coaching is just as important to your job as the chair you sit on.
The article does a great job of highlighting the truth about this, however it does deserve a bit more explanation. While those are some mighty fine numbers taken from some surely amazing corporate establishments; this doesn't even touch on the impact that coaching can do for the self-employed. As for the Chicago Tribute article, it mentions "wellness programs [such as life coaching] have been shown to provide approximately a 300% return on investment (ROI)." Imagine what the ROI would be to the business if an business owner invested in his- or herself.
As for those who are employed by other companies, coaching is a great way to help you step up from the rest by honing in on your personal strengths and applying them at the office.
