Evaluation in the coaching and mentoring industry is put being put under the microscope of late.
As Dr Bob Garvey, of the Mentoring and Coaching Unit at Sheffield Hallam University said, "As the coaching and mentoring industry continues to grow, more and more coaches and their clients are looking for effective ways of evaluating their coaching programmes.
"Evaluation benefits clients in that it allows them to ascertain the benefits of any coaching programme they have been using - and even to compare it against more traditional methods of training. It’s useful for coaches too, in that it shows them both their strengths and areas that could do with more work or experience.”
This question is addressed to all the coaches on Connectture.com and also to goodreads members who have been coaches at one point of time. Do you think coaching is really effective? Has it helped you achieve your goals which you set out for yourself?
