Particularly in times of profound change and disruption, executives and senior-level managers need the support of a coach who can help them filter through noise and make clear decisions that propel their organizations into the future. And with research from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) showing that 86% of organizations see an ROI on their coaching engagements, the benefits of corporate coaching are significant.  \nBut as the coaching industry continues to evolve under the influence of a ‘new world of work’ —one that is increasingly digital, agile, and transformed for the post-pandemic world—how will buyers expect corporate coaching to meet these new challenges?  \nTo lead their organizations through massive transformations, senior leaders will need coaches who are specialized—not just in a particular industry, but on a specific topic. These specialized coaches must be familiar with relevant research and industry trends, and they must have the ability to analyze data to help leaders solve unprecedented challenges.  \nThe future will usher in coaches who are focused on an organization’s overall strategy, ultimately helping that organization achieve its mission by crafting senior leaders who are able to operate at peak performance.  \n©2021 Center for Creative Leadership.

Along the way, we uncovered valuable insights that indicate a shift in the corporate coaching and talent development landscape.  \nJust a decade ago, when senior leaders sought an executive coach, they typically looked for 2 key differentiating factors: the presence of trust, and the coach’s accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) .  \nThese are still baseline requirements, but today, our survey found, buyers’ criteria are changing to also include the following 3 considerations.  \nCONSIDERATION 1 | BUYERS REQUIRE GLOBAL CONSISTENCY.  \nFrom large leadership development organizations, buyers require global consistency. In many cases, these corporations’ offices span multiple countries or continents, but their vision and mission are consistent.  \nHR buyers believe that their leaders, regardless of location, require coaches that understand global perspectives and are able to approach corporate coaching through a consistent lens worldwide.  \nBuyers want to feel confident that their leaders’ coaches have received the same high-quality training and have globally recognized standards irrespective of their coaching training.  \n4 | ©2021 Center for Creative Leadership.
