One of the reasons I became a professional coach was because of the life-changing experience of being coached myself. To have someone help me uncover new possibilities was life-changing. I believe everyone can benefit from having a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centerforcoachingcertification.com\/resources.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coach<\/a>! A common question I hear people ask is, \u201cIs coaching really worth it?\u201d Let\u2019s explore.<\/p>\n<p>The qualitative and anecdotal data to support the return on investment (ROI) for coaching is easy to come by with a simple online search or by asking colleagues. Clients often share that having the time and space to focus alone created transformational shifts in the way they approached their goals and their life overall. Though this may sound like a simple win, we live in a society that is constantly moving at a fast and furious pace. Many people actually do not have or make the time to do this ty<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.CoachCert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sharma-graham.jpg\" alt=\"Coaching: The Qualitative Case\" width=\"297\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sharma-graham.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.coachcert.com\/coachingblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/sharma-graham-64x60.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 297px) 100vw, 297px\" \/>pe of intensive self-work.<\/p>\n<p>Another common reflection from clients is around the impact of powerful questioning. Despite what we may have learned by default over the years, that people want to be told, people actually do want to think through and make their own decisions. People embrace the judgment-free zone that coaching provides and run to, not from, self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p>The third common reflection from clients is that having a true accountability method is a game-changer for them. When clients clarify their own goals, determine their own path to get there, and establish accountability based on what they want, it simply changes the game. In this sense, the return on investment for\u00a0coaching is crystal clear.<\/p>\n<p>www.TheMadeCompany.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching: The Qualitative Case by Sharma Graham The impact of coaching can be felt far and wide.
