THE NEED
Even before the pandemic, a startling 70% of those surveyed said they either hate their jobs or are completely disengaged (Gallup).
Since the pandemic, the demand for coaching and consultation has become much more acute among executives (who seek top talent and need to address heightened employee sensitivities) and professionals (who may wish to re-evaluate their situation and want more flexibility).
Recent statistics of note:
- 82% of employees don’t trust their boss to tell the truth (Forbes).
- 81% of employees are ready to leave their jobs, 79% because leaders don’t appreciate them (GoRemotely).
- 56% of employees think leaders should update their skills to support a virtual workforce (CIPHR).
So, how can executives become better leaders, and how can professionals progress with their careers? Where can they turn when there is a dearth of experienced and practical professional career coaches?
THE SOLUTION
We at Epicoach, a firm that specializes in Executive, Professional and Individual Coaching and consulting, help clients unlock their potential. Coaching consists of structured sessions that feature a series of customized questions, each of which is based on deep listening by the coach. The coach listens not only for what is said, but how it is said. The coach then partners with clients to help them gain a better understanding of what is holding them back. We help clients remove impediments to success by evaluating their current status and future goals – and we jointly design the path to achieve those goals.
In addition, our consulting services include resume writing, interview prep, and networking; executive search coordination; business formation and structure; and cultural refinements, including DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) considerations.
THE RESULTS
According to the ICF Global Coaching Client Study, a stunning 99% of people polled said they were satisfied with the overall coaching experience. The ICF study shows most clients reported improved work performance, business management, efficient time management, team effectiveness, and more growth and opportunities. And at Epicoach, our testimonials speak for themselves.
