Executive Coaching Competence

They think they're too busy for it, but your prodding hasn't been in vain, a new study by outplacement, coaching, and career management firm DBM and the Human Capital Institute suggests. "Trends in Executive Coaching: New Research Reveals Emerging Best Practices" shows organizations increasingly are using executive coaching to enhance performance across the enterprise by grooming high-potential employees, while also supporting high-performing executives and leadership teams. Here are some of the highlights:

• Demand for executive coaching services is growing due to increased credibility and demonstrated impact on the enterprise. The vast majority of the study's nearly 500 respondents (78 percent) view coaching as a credible and effective way to enhance an individual's effectiveness in driving an organization's performance.

• Organizations are benefiting from a high return on investment (ROI) for executive coaching. Of study respondents who calculate ROI, 77 percent believe executive coaching provides their organizations with a solid return. These individuals estimate levels ranging from a minimum of 100 percent ROI to more than a 500 percent return.

• In addition to tracking direct evidence of financial return, organizations also consider a variety of qualitative factors when measuring the impact of coaching. These include: achievement of agreed-upon development objectives (84 percent); anecdotal evidence of success (83 percent); assessment from the coach (82 percent); other people's perceptions of the coachee (79 percent); and the coachee's ability to be promoted or to take on new responsibilities (74 percent).

• Organizations are using a combination of metrics and qualitative factors when evaluating the success of executive coaching. Organizations measuring direct financial impact most often track: executive output (33 percent), such as sales revenue and productivity; quality improvements (23 percent), such as increased reliability or decreased defects; cost savings (23 percent); and turnover (21 percent).

• A majority of enterprise executives (78 percent) view executive coaching as credible and valuable. "DBM's research reinforces that executive coaching can generate significant rewards within an organization," says Karen O'Boyle, president of DBM North America. "Businesses that invest in human capital by effectively leveraging executive coaching to groom talent throughout the enterprise are witnessing a significant impact on both operational excellence and the bottom line."

There is long time not writing chinese, either in work or leisure time. I suspect I am still equipped with chinese writing skill, and believe continuous practice would sharpen my skill (next time sin la).

Recently I discover I am the one who put career lower than love. Career stands at the second place while the remaining would be friends and family. This is distant from what I am used to consciously say, since which may call people 'discriminating' yourself. At the same time, behaviour of friends surrounding me align with what I now believe. Career is somewhat the tools for a better life. It strengthens my thought. That's really turn my life changing also, sleep earlier. I live happier than before, feel the achievement of accomanying with my partner. I have been establishing an unique kind of communication with her such as jargon and style with less barriers, an shared vision, respect. All are backed up by every experience.

The change is supported by my self-dialogue, peers effect, emotionalised action, injection of new belief. It can be an example of self-hypnosis.

It drives me chaotic that life is used to play who those is not ready or yet to plan the future. All the criteria in choosing the job suddenly enter into my mind, salary, development, job nature, time spent, culture, leading style, presence of assistant, work system, nature of business, importance of identity, audience... cramped into my mind. It's very sudden and I remain stupor. I need time to digest.

I am wondering the surrounding people's thinking methodology. How come you spend on doing which is done? How come the training matrix is not suggested? How come you invest in what is not regarded as important or uncertainly important? The thing headed in the agenda has been developed! Work or suggestion should be done prior to next meeting, not during the meeting! Album is designed for customers only customers regard it as essential!

Today, Celia and I attend the last lesson of self-hypnosis. Basic step in doing hypnosis and grammar of suggestion are taught. Very funny! The concept could be adopted in various nature, marketing, training, coaching, advertising and so on!
