For those professionals that have experienced executive coaching there is a clear understanding of the value it creates for them personally and also the businesses they work in, both indirectly through many of the intangible aspects such as renewed confidence and clarity of direction, and also directly through the sometimes very tangible benefits of the process such as increased bottom line value.

However, companies are always looking for ways to get a more specific and focused outcome from the executive coaching process and if possible to get some sense of whether it has worked or not.

Here is some of the ways that this corporate requirement is now being integrated into executive coaching;

1. Reducing the number of objectives. If you can get specific around only 1 key objective then you are in a position to understand the coaching impact if you couple it with the following other factors.

2. Engage the key stakeholders. If you are focused and have a means to bring the perspectives of the people who will benefit from the change then you are able to bring the business itself into the change process. This is much more powerful for all.

3. Accountability. When you engage stakeholders then you make the coachee more aware that any change is been seen and noted (of course the opposite to true as well) so there is ‘skin in the game’.
