Does Business Coaching Really Work There is no perfect human being on this planet so I think that everybody in this world including all business related objectives needs coaching.

Coaching is Assisting Coaching assist one to create and act on the reality that you want to create. The coachee does all the work not the coach - the coach only guides / drives you to the destination. The coachee's commitment and follow through on his / her your word determines the outcome. The coach creates awareness of what is possible to create around tendencies that sabotage you living the life you want or obtaining the results you desire e.g. committing to submitting your taxes in time, reading two books a month, etc.

Does Business Coaching Really Work Coaching does work as long as the coachee is willing to move on and feel committed to the goals set. As long as the business objectives have the buy in of the staff to be coach, the result will be clearly positive.

Coaching and Business Objectives Thanks Katia. I agree that the coachee should be committed to his/her tasks and targets. By setting those himself (in line with business objectives and agreed by superior) that commitment can be instilled. Do you have experience if performance coaching really works under those conditions?

Coaching Works But Needs the Right Environment Actually, yes. But it is important to create also the right environment. Trusting that the employee will succeed and accepting some mistake as improvement areas and not as failure will help you get the proper end result. When I was working in HR, I was putting emphasis on creating a non-threatening environment. The objective should be presented as a great opportunity; not a risky business. I hope this will help you.

Does Business Coaching Really Work? I agree with Katia, in as much as the environment has to be correct (strategy and values) so that coaching and learning are part of the of the organisation. coaching then becomes a normal way to do business of individuals and teams.

Coaching of Sales People In a sales environment, I feel the benefits of having sales managers that are good coaches has a direct influence on the bottom line.
Account planning guidance and sales call feedback and planning are great motivational tools..

Compatibility with Performance Reward System? Thanks for your comments. The right learning environment in the organisation is very important indeed. Can't agree more. However, at the same time companies try to drive behaviour of employees with substantial performance rewards. Do you have evidence that these two drivers (learning culture and performance rewards) can be compatible?

Does Business Coaching Really Work? The answer depends on what the coachee is trying to accomplish. Business coaching is like sports coaching, the coach enables the coachee to improve his results through having confidence in his potential and a commitment to applying himself. A good business coach starts the relationship by helping the coachee to understand his current position and articulating his goals. My view is that business coaching works exceptionally well when the coach and coachee are right for each other and are focussing on well articulated outcomes.

Does Business Coaching Really Work? I would add to Tleli's comments with "in an appropriate environment". As an external business coach, what will trap you would be the hidden culture or the coachee's working environment.

Business Coaching Does not Always Work Yes it does, however you must remember that not all incidents/items/tasks/problems etc are coachable.
It must be used appropriately and it is up to the coachee to want to change for it to work. This may very well be the place for the coach to start.

Does Business Coaching Really Work Yes! Coaching always works and creates results when a coachee is willing to go beyond his/her comfort zone.

Absence of Regulation for Coaching I'm not very confident on the effectiveness of coaching, due to the increase of the number of coaching consultants and trainers and the total absence of rules and regulation of this profession.

Business Coaching Might Benefit Everyone, But... @PCN Scheurwater: It's a fact that nobody is perfect so everybody might benefit from coaching, but that will be true only if you reach the right person.
And a person can become a coach after years of experience. That experience has come for example from the small business he had in past, as a result he now has all necessary skills to give hike to a small business. .

Compatibility of Coaching and Performance Reward System @Kuiper: Yes, its possible. But only if there is a proactive consensus from the top-down (high-level) and also bottom-up (grass root level) alignment of motives and outcomes.
Culture and rewards should sync, but rewards can only be objectively assessed in the right culture.
