What are the benefits of Coaching ?

Most of the writing on coaching so far has been in either the sports, behavioural or business field.

Behaviour change, focus, clarity, confidence, self-sufficiency, creative thinking, goal attainment and improved relationships are common themes that fall out of these reports. 

A growing area of investigation is that of tangible business benefit. Below are some examples from current literature on Business Impact of Coaching. 

In addition Quilken has recently completed research on the Tangible Benefits of Executive Coaching - more info?  

"Senior managers agreed that when people were allowed to think for themselves, they solved their own problems and any improvements made were longer lasting"....Viant Corporation - Boston, The Inner Game of Work, Timothy Gallwey.

“Executives (and managers) are dealing with uncertainty and turbulence. They are often multi-cultural, deal with dispersed teams, and increasingly more social, ethical, and ecological responsibility. Amidst all this, they  need to keep their motivation and passion alive.  Coaches are required to integrate the executive’s multifaceted roles in an organization: his or her role as a person, as a team leader and as a leader” ...Katrina Burrus Barbey, First European Executive Coaching Summit Report
