"The idea that an executive coach can help employees improve performance quickly is a great selling point to CEOs, who put the bottom line first. Yet that approach tends to gloss over any unconscious conflict the employee might have.
This can have disastrous consequences for the company long term and can exacerbate the psychological damage to the person targeted for help...
Unless these Executive coaches have been trained in the dynamics of Interpersonal relations, however, they may abuse their power often without meaning to...
To best help their executives, companies need to draw on the expertise of executive coaches with legitimate skills.
~ Harvard Business School Journal, July 2003
"In one 2004 study, executive coaching at Booz Allen Hamilton, the business consultants firm, returned $7.90 for every $1 the firm spent on coaching."

"Employers are shocked at how high their ROI numbers are for coaching. He recalls a large employer in the hospitality industry saved between $30 million and $60 million by coaching its top 200 executives."
~ Alastair Robertson, Manager of Worldwide Leadership Development, Accenture
"Executive Coaches are everywhere these days. Companies hire them to shore up executives or, in some cases, to ship them out. Division heads hire them as change agents.
Workers at all levels of the corporate ladder are enlisting coaches for guidance on how to improve their performance, boost their profits,and make better decisions about everything from personnel to strategy."

Coaching Success Stories
“I've been coaching with Bess for about 5 months now. She's really helped me improve my communication, time management, and most importantly some internal blocks I've faced.
With her assistance, I took my monthly sales performance from 15% of expectation to 458%. I'm currently over 150% YTD in my sales goals, and have reached 4 of my 5 most significant written goals for 2007, as well as leading in my office for the President's Club award for outstanding salesperson.
I attribute a good deal of it to the time I've spent with Bess as my coach and mentor. She is worth her weight in gold.”
