Next week February 4 - February 10, 2007 is International Coaching Week.
The purpose of this event is to provide a week each year to educate the public about the value of coaching.
Coaching is a relatively young profession that is growing quickly. According to a nationwide survey of more than 300 companies by Manchester,a human capital consulting firm. 59% of organizations are currently offering coaching to their managers and executives, this is expected to grow by 20% in the next year.
The reason:
In order for organizations to thrive in the coming years increasing the capability of the managers is a necessity. Everyone has a certain level of capacity and that level determines the opportunities that are available for that person at any given time. The thing about capacity is that it expands. The more you develop people’s talents, the greater their ability becomes and the more opportunities become available for the individual and the company. Relationships and the development of interpersonal skills are critical in the coming years. Don Peterson, former Ford CEO said "Results Depend on Relationships" Executive Coaching builds capability and develops the interpersonal skills. We all need need mentors and coaches to help us reveal our blind spots and take the right actions that produce the strongest results.
