If you are an organisation investing in coaching then you need results and a good return on that investment. At Make It So Coaching, I value meaningful and reliable methods of measuring how coachees have responded to their coaching.

At the outset, I ensure I have a clear and full understanding of the sponsor’s intended outcomes for each coachee. I then work with the coachee to define the individual goals to work on over the course of coaching sessions. These goals will address the sponsor’s outcomes and other relevant areas raised by the coachee.

The impact of transformative coaching needs to be visible to the sponsor.

Goals.  Actions.  Results.

 

The coachee uses a 0-10 scale to identify where they are in relation to each goal at the outset, and then again, at the end of the block of coaching sessions.

A detailed feedback and review session with the coachee at the end of the block of coaching sessions provides insight into what the coachee has experienced as transformative.

The actions completed by each coachee are tracked. At the end, an analysis is undertaken to establish the proportion of actions completed and the types of strategy which have (and have not) worked for the coachee.

A Personal Impact Report is compiled for each coachee which is shared with them. Anonymous analysis of the numerical data generated is provided to the commissioning sponsor in their Organisational Impact Report. Each coachee is also asked if they would like any other detail from their Personal Impact Report to be shared with the sponsor. Where the coachee requests this, that information is also included in the sponsor’s Organisational Impact Report.

“I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.”

It is more useful having a dialogue with questions being asked rather than just relying on your own monologue to work things out. The dialogue made me realise key details about the vision I have for myself that I hadn’t been aware of.

As a teacher returning from maternity leave, talking with Alison helped me understand the challenge of managing competing demands and meeting my own expectations as a conscientious employee. However, I realised there are enhancements too. In particular, my connection with my students and their parents moves to a deeper level.

When an employee becomes a new parent, inevitably for a while that new role becomes all consuming. It is vital that they then have access to support such as the skilled coaching Alison provides so that they can transition successfully to the new dual role. Such coaching is effective because the support is personalised to the individual’s unique circumstances.

I know how important it is for the modern woman to succeed in the workplace as well as at home. Working mothers are invaluable employees. They have resilience, an ability to prioritise, are unfazed by responsibility and can adapt quickly to change. However, coaching provides essential support so that the initial return is not made unnecessarily difficult and burdensome for them.

When you return to work after maternity leave, there is so much to think about and it doesn’t actually get much easier as the children get older. A better run-up to the return would have been invaluable for me. It is hard for busy organisations to provide sufficient support for the transition and so much mental fatigue occurs because of that lack of support. The opportunity to have had coaching would have been invaluable. I would have been better placed to help the organisation to help me.
