"I truly enjoyed the Coaching Fundamentals course! The information was presented in a concise yet complete manner.
"I appreciated Kristen's approach to the class, weaving in examples beautifully to illustrate the points and yet moving the class ahead such that it seemed like we covered much ground!
"My favorite part were the coaching segments where Kristen coached one member of our group each session and it was a delight to watch the insights that emerged. On particular session that stood out, she masterfully facilitated a discussion around the sensitive topic of diversity and inclusion, and the entire group participated. That was heartwarming to experience. Thank You!"

The Results of Coaching -
Just like gravity is a physical principle, there are success principles in life.
Integrative Coaching integrates the key success principles of awareness, intention, and energy. Awareness is the first step to change. Intention establishes a clear path. Energy sets the intention into motion.
These all bring human potential to life in deep and meaningful ways.
COACHING STATISTICS & RESULTS:
"Thirty-one managers underwent a conventional managerial training program, followed by 8 weeks of one-on-one executive coaching. Training, which included goal setting, collaborative problem solving, practice, feedback, supervisory involvement, evaluation of end-results, and a public presentation, increased productivity by 22.4%. Training and coaching increased productivity by 88%, a significantly greater gain compared to training alone." ~ Public Personnel Management
"Coaching produced a 529% return on investment and significant intangible benefits to the business. Including the financial benefits from employee retention, coaching boosted the overall ROI to 788%. The study provided powerful new insights into how to maximize the business impact from executive coaching. ~ Merrill Anderson
