Measuring the Impact and Value of Coaching

John Arnold Smith presents a results-driven, business-oriented workshop on measuring coaching impact that can help your clients maximize success and achieve desired results.  John will demonstrate researched-based ways that coaching value can be defined, measured and linked to the organization or individual’s objectives and outcomes.  This is a “Don’t Miss” program for both life and executive coaches and their clients, to learn how to articulate the ROI of coaching
