Whitepaper: 

Why coaching works – The science behind the superpower that changes people and business

For organisations five years ago, career coaching was expensive, elitist and slow. Because it came with a significant price tag, it was typically reserved for only a handful of people. And because it called for face-to-face meetings and long commutes out of the office, it used to take a long time to schedule (and subsequently, to see results).

Flash forward to today, and the world looks very different. The pandemic has changed how we learn; virtual coaching makes it easy to slot self-development into people’s day-to-day. And because of this, it is getting easier for L&D departments to democratise coaching to beyond the C-suite – from new joiners to recent returners and everyone in-between.

A new whitepaper by Ezra, titled Why coaching works – The science behind the superpower that changes people and business, explores why coaching may work better than other learning interventions, by shedding light on:

 

1. How to bridge the ‘knowing-doing’ gap that has plagued L&D teams and their initiatives for decades – i.e. reasons to make people tick and changes stick.
2. Why a ‘fail fast, learn faster’ culture may be failing businesses by focusing more on failure feedback than positive reinforcement that motivates people.
3. The importance of coaching in building a time and space for people to reflect – and, hold up a mirror to the steps one is taking, and the wins they’re securing.

Coaching can create a big change in one person. But its real power lies in what it can do for entire organisations. Perhaps, implementing a coaching culture can be your next big project.
