What our UK members say:

'Professional standards are vital to the standing and credibility of Coaching as an emerging profession. The ICF is the only independent professional body with a track record of accrediting coaches to these rigorous standards and at a variety of levels. So I am proud to be designated a Master Coach by the ICF and consider it my responsibility to myself and my clients ( national and international, corporate and personal) to ensure that I continue to operate at that level......luckily the ICF makes sure I do that!'

Hiring a Coach - Organisations
*
*
Coaches are normally hired by either organisations or privately by individuals. This section deals with hiring a coach as an organisation. Such coaches are often termed Corporate or Executive Coaches. They may be internal and work exclusively for the organisation, or external, brought in as part of a company sponsored intervention. Click here for key differences between using internal and external coaches.

If you are looking for an external coach for your organisation, click here and follow the instructions.

How corporate coaching works

Corporate Coaches will work closely with the organisation to ensure that coaching meets both the objectives of the coachee and the organisation.
  • With corporate coaching, the company pays for the coaching intervention and takes an active part in the development of the coaching programme
  • The coaching programme is often part of a bigger development process within the organisation
  • Corporate coaches can work 1-2-1, with groups or a combination of both
  • Coaching success criteria are often agreed by the coach, coachee and organisation.
  • The company has some input in to the agenda or focus of the coaching.
