Return on Investment from Coaching – ICF 2009 Survey Results

Posted on 04 December 2009

A recent survey carried out by Price Waterhouse Coopers on behalf of the International Coach Federation (ICF) showed some exciting results for the return on investment enjoyed by coaching clients. The survey had a client sample size of 2,165 and is the latest of a regular annual survey carried out by the ICF across the globe.

The findings were that… "The ROI for companies can be significant. The vast majority (86%) of those able to provide figures to calculate company ROI indicated that their company had at least made their investment back. The ROI for companies is quite a bit higher (than individuals) with a median return of 7 times the initial investment. In fact, almost one fifth (19%) indicated an ROI of at least 50 (5000%) times the initial investment while a further 28% saw an ROI of 10 to 49 times the investment."

Independent validation of the massive difference that working with a professional coach can make to a business.
