Coaching Culturesold

We are proven specialists in creating highly successful, sustainable Coaching Cultures in organisations

Through more than 20 years of coach specific industry immersion, we have partnered with a diverse range of leading organisations globally, to create outstanding outcomes through tailored coaching culture initiatives.

Coaching cultures underpin the four critical factors identified through extensive research and analysis (including AON/ Kincentric studies cited below) that are required to excel in our current environment of digitalisation, globalization and talent shortages.

Coach Global Coaching Culture clients have won multiple, significant best employer and engagement awards, as well as being analysed as having significant upswings in engagement and leadership effectiveness, as a direct result of partnering with us on their bespoke coaching culture initiatives. Please see case studies below.

The efficacy of Coaching Cultures is evidence-based. Research and analysis completed by AON/ Kincentric identified that Best Employers are surpassing other organisations in the following measurable factors. These elements directly correlate to the behaviours and mindset that result from the embedding of a coaching culture.

 

Furthermore, AON’s research has shown that Best Employers enjoy direct and significant commercial benefits.
