Is executive coaching worth the cost?

Executive coaching is worth the cost when it leads to better decisions, stronger teams, reduced turnover, and more effective execution - all of which carry significant financial and human impact. Studies and industry surveys consistently report positive ROI for well-designed coaching initiatives, particularly at senior levels.

  • Indicators coaching is likely to be "worth it":

    • The leader is willing to be honest, experiment, and act on feedback. 

    • Goals are specific and tied to measurable business or organizational outcomes. 

    • Coaching is supported (or at least not undermined) by the organization's culture and systems. 

  • Risks that reduce ROI:

    • Treating coaching as a "fix" for systemic issues that require organizational change. 

    • Using coaching as a last-ditch intervention for leaders with no willingness to change.

Kindred Consulting Group:

  • Maximizes coaching ROI by embedding it within the broader organizational context identified through the Kindred Clarity Framework.

  • This ensures that leader growth is aligned with the actual strategic and structural shifts your business needs.
