Coaching Quotes:

Recent research indicates that 30% of new managers fail with the first 18 months.  The statistics for new business failure are even higher. .  The cost of employee turnover is exorbitant ranging from $150,000 to 750,000.  Executive coaching emphasizes taking actions and supports the client.  Coaching is all about improving effectiveness. 

 

“HR Monthly says “Studies show business coaching and executive coaching are the most effective means for achieving sustainable growth, change and development in the individual and in teams.”

 

Coaching, training, and group coaching are offered for individuals and teams.  When training is followed by coaching the “recall after 3 weeks is 85%” and after 3 months is 65%.
