THE BEST 34 INSPIRING QUOTES ON COACHING FOR MANAGERS

Numerous Leaders and Managers have reported that Coaching has made a positive impact on their lives and Careers.

The benefits of coaching are many.

80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, 

70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills. 

86% of companies report that they recouped their investment in coaching and more (source: ICF 2009).

Coaching is an invaluable tool for developing a person across a wide range of needs

Leaders and Managers should not underestimate the impact of coaching on their careers and life because, at a basic level, it creates a shift in the way they approach their work, career, relationships, etc.

For example, increased Confidence, Resilience, Productivity and Assertiveness help you bring more of yourself to the workplace.

This helps you make quick shifts, gain more life, and job satisfaction, take greater responsibility, work more effectively and productively, have better relationships with your boss and employees, and make more meaningful contributions to your organization.

But unfortunately, not many Leaders and Managers are aware of the benefits of coaching and they have some misconceptions regarding coaching, which prevents them from seeking the help of a coach. 

And this is why they are unable to make the best use of their potential and are unable to experience more fulfilment, balance, and joy in their work and life.

And to help you know the truth about coaching I have compiled a list of quotes from some of the famous coaches from across the world that will help you have a better perspective on coaching and inspire you to seek the help of a coach.
