Abstract
The purpose of this study is twofold: To identify the lasting impact of executive coaching. What attitudes, beliefs and/or behaviors have sustained once the coach has left the picture? Are clients really left with the ability to "fly solo" consistently in more effective ways? If the emerging data supports the claim of sustained results, to link this lasting impact to the nascent and complex effort to define the ROI of executive coaching.
Gaining this information will add to the developing mode of coaching, further distinguish this development process from consulting, help to clarify the phrase "sustainable results" and identify the ROI associated with these, if any, lasting behaviors. Answering these questions may shed light on many other inquiries presented by the client community. Such as, What are the outcomes of coaching? What metrics should be used to measure success? Is behavioral coaching more or less valuable than transformational coaching in organizations? How will I know if this is worth the investment?
