Much work on coaching to date has highlighted the importance of relationships between coachees and their coaches. Here we’ve looked at both coach factors and coaching relationship factors that affect the achievement of coaching outcomes. The paper also offers some practical advice for organisations and on improving coaching components of everyday work routines for internal coaches and managers.

This paper is second in a series on coaching effectiveness. A total of 644 industry professionals who were current or former coachees responded to a questionnaire. In this paper we identify barriers faced by coachees during the period of their coaching and suggest a categorisation framework: difficulties with coach; organisational culture; personal issues; coaching relationship and coaching model/process.

This joint international study surveyed 644 industry professionals from 34 countries, who either had received or were currently receiving coaching. The infographic offers some of the key findings.

This study clarified factors that make coaching effective and should be included in the coaching process. Six hundred and forty four industry professionals who had been through or were currently going through the coaching process responded to a questionnaire. The findings focus on the main components involved in the coaching process: the coach, the coachee, the organisation, the coaching process and the relationship between coach and coachee.
