The Proven Benefits of Coaching

Coaching can be a game-changer, but it’s not just about having a good conversation—it’s about creating real, lasting change. That's why I believe coaching should be grounded in science. Here are some proven benefits of coaching:

Increased Self-Belief: Coaching helps individuals build confidence, enabling them to tackle challenges more assertively and believe in their abilities. Many clients report feeling more positive and self-assured as a result of coaching sessions.

Clarity of Purpose: Coaching provides a structured environment for individuals to define their goals and aspirations. This clarity helps in setting actionable steps toward achieving those goals, leading to improved focus and direction in both personal and professional spheres

Better Interpersonal Skills: Coaching often leads to improved communication abilities, which enhance relationships at work and in personal life. Individuals learn to express themselves more clearly and listen actively, fostering better connections with others.

Conflict Resolution: Through coaching, individuals gain tools to navigate and resolve conflicts more effectively, leading to healthier relationships and a more collaborative environment

Higher Engagement Levels: Coaching boosts motivation by helping individuals connect their personal values with their goals. This alignment fosters greater engagement in their work and life pursuits.

Ownership and Accountability: Coaching encourages individuals to take ownership of their actions and decisions, leading to a greater sense of empowerment and commitment to their goals

Work-Life Balance: Coaching can help individuals prioritize their commitments, leading to a healthier work-life balance. This balance contributes to overall happiness and well-being

People don’t learn from experience, they learn from reflecting from experience

According to International Coaching Federation (ICF), there are also opportunities to connect with neuroscience and understand how coaching can bring positive change.

Coaching conversations has shown to elicit a neurobiological response in the coachee. This response influences emotion, cognition, motivation and behaviour.

Participants who went through describing their ideal state showed parts of their brain, associated with processing with positive emotions, activated.

I’ve experienced this transformation myself.

Personally, coaching has fundamentally changed the way I talk to myself.

It went from “you will never be good enough if you were you” to “I am good enough for me”. This step change has brought me more opportunities in my life by simply taking the risks to meet new people and saying ‘yes’ to things.
