INTRODUCTION TO COACHING

At Positive Performance, we believe coaching is one of the most powerful tools available for developing people, strengthening teams, and transforming organisations.  Coaching creates space for reflection, clarity, and growth – helping individuals and groups unlock greater potential, navigate complexity, and generate meaningful, sustainable change.

Whether the focus is personal development, leadership capability, team performance, well-being, or financial confidence, coaching offers a structured, supportive, and impactful way to move forward.

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a future-focused, collaborative partnership that supports individuals or teams in achieving their goals, developing new capabilities, and enhancing performance.  It is grounded in meaningful dialogue, intentional action, and reflective practice.

Coaching takes many forms, including:

  1. Leadership & Executive Coaching 

For senior leaders and CEOs seeking deeper self-awareness, strategic clarity, and high-performing leadership behaviours.

  1. Emerging Leader & Talent Development Coaching 

Designed to develop the next generation of leaders with the mindset, skills, and confidence needed for early success.

  1. Team Coaching 

Focused on strengthening team cohesion, trust, communication, and collective performance.

  1. Life Coaching 

Supporting individuals to gain clarity, confidence, and direction in their personal or professional lives.

  1. Well-Being Coaching

Helping individuals build resilience, emotional health, and sustainable well-being routines.

  1. Financial Coaching 

Empowering people to develop healthy financial habits and confidence in navigating personal finances.

  1. CEO Thinking Partner 

A confidential, high-trust advisory relationship that elevates the quality of strategic thinking and decision-making.

Each approach is tailored to the individual or team, ensuring development is meaningful, practical, and aligned with their goals and context.

 Return on Investment (ROI) in Coaching

Research consistently shows that coaching delivers substantial returns — for individuals and organisations alike.

Documented ROI Insights

  • A study by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) found a return on investment of 7x the initial investment, with some organisations reporting up to 50x ROI.
  • According to a Manchester Inc. study, executive coaching returned an average of 5.7 times the investment, largely through improved productivity and employee retention.
  • Harvard Business Review notes that coaching increases leadership effectiveness, which correlates strongly with higher organisational performance and employee engagement.

Across industries and contexts, the evidence is clear:
Coaching is not a cost — it is a strategic investment in people, performance, and long-term success.

Why Coaching Matters Now More Than Ever

Today’s world demands leaders and teams who can think clearly, adapt quickly, communicate authentically, and lead with purpose.  Coaching strengthens exactly these capabilities.

It creates a rare space for reflection in fast-moving environments—supporting better decisions, healthier relationships, and more sustainable performance.  Coaching helps people show up as their best selves, even in the most challenging moments.

And when individuals flourish, organisations flourish.
