Our impact

We make good leaders measurably better.

A group of lightbulbs with one illuminated.

EXECUTIVE COACHING IMPACT STATS

The measure of a leader is how far they travel.

How we measure it: every leader rates their progress against their own goal on a 0–10 scale, before and after coaching. On average, leaders almost double their capability and confidence.

EXECUTIVE COACHING IMPACT STATS

Coaching doesn’t only move the goal. It changes how leaders experience the whole role.

Whatever a leader’s goal, we also ask them to rate four wider dimensions of their working life – leading indicators of engagement, capability and retention.

return

Every £1 invested returned around £6

Ona £242,550 programme. Replacing one senior associate (£130–150k) costs an estimated ~£210k – 1.5–2× salary, the legal benchmark. Crediting just half the at-risk group, the programme avoided roughly £1.47m in replacement cost (~506% return), rising to 12–17× if the full group is credited.

Retaining just two at-risk senior associates covered the entire seven-year programme.

Case study

Proof in practice – moving senior women forward.

Law firm – 5-year partnership

Across more than five years we have coached 150+ women through leave, with many progressing to Legal Director or Partner, including. Among them, twelve senior associates stood out as feeling not ready to be promoted. Coaching changed this.

Promoted

Hesitation turned into promotion – and a stronger senior pipeline

By their own account these women would have waited. Coaching converted self-doubt into action for two-thirds of the group, taking eight senior women into Legal Director and Partner roles and directly advancing the firm's stated gender-diversity goals.
