What We Do Success By Design Asia specializes in management coaching, that is, coaching related to business situations. Joanna Hsu's breadth of experience in holding top management positions in major multi-national corporations provides an excellent source of knowledge for coachee's to draw upon. Her approach of using NLP makes the coaching session even richer. Rather than simply provide solutions to presented problems, she works with the coachees to develop the necessary skills and confidence to perform their job.
Growth of Coaching In April 2004, the UK's Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) reported in “Training and development 2004” that of 531 CIPD member organisations that responded, 78% reported that coaching was in use, and over 90% of respondents agreed with various statements regarding the effectiveness of coaching to deliver tangible benefits and promote learning. CIPD findings indicated that of all training forms, coaching had seen the largest percentage increase in usage in recent years, higher even than e-learning. Coaching is most often used for improving personal performance and is used mainly by managers and directors.
The CIPD published a subsequent report “Coaching and buying coaching services” III, in June
2004. This report says that the increased use of coaching has been driven by a number of
factors, including: - ability to adapt to rapid change
- organisational downsizing means newly promoted individuals requiring support
- lifelong learning needs
- costs associates with poor performance
- senior level employees needing someone to confide inLI
- individual responsibility for development
The report states that HR/training practitioners almost universally believe “…coaching is an
effective way of promoting learning, can have an impact on the organisation’s bottom line and
can deliver tangible benefits to individuals and organisations.”
What are the Benefits of Coaching? The CIPD report also provides a list of benefits for the individual and for the organisation,
which it states can be used by HR to build a case for using coaching in an organisation.
