'The State of the Business Coaching Industry':

The professional business coaching industry has evolved dramatically over the last few years and bears little resemblance to its fuzzy predecessor. Coaching today is a demanding discipline and the busier-than-ever coach, trainer, consultant and manager needs smart, effective, validated tools and resources to ensure they are employing best-practice standards.

Business coaching, by nature, is in a continual process of development and draws from a wide range of behavioral sciences and professional disciplines. Professional coaching has little resemblance to the fuzzy 'model' promoted by the large online course marketers, many regional providers and commercially oriented "international coaching" associations.

Achieving measurable, sustainable outcomes isn't a matter of simplistic goal setting, personality profiling and cheerleading but requires the skilful use of validated, proven behavioral change methods and learning tools grounded in the behavioral sciences. The success of any business coaching program is dictated by the program's resources depth, scientific validity and measurability.

Dr Skiffington (acknowledged as one of the world's leading authorities in organizational coaching), for over a decade, has been teaching, developing and delivering proven behavioral-based coaching practices that are replicable and codifiable. These "world-best" standard practices and business models have validity of use because of their known, measurable, sustainable success.

Recent studies have revealed the greatest challenge to any organization is to change people's behavior. Of recent years there has been a growing demand from coaches and their clients for an industry-proven coaching model based on scientifically validated methodologies. It is in response to this demand that the behavioral coaching model was developed.

 


"The Behavioral Coaching Institute is recognized worldwide as the premier
 coach training institution for organizations
"
-HR Monthly

-For over a decade, Dr Skiffington, as a senior partner of the Behavioral Coaching Institute, has worked with many of the world’s leading organizations engaged in coaching to realize outstanding business outcomes through successful validated, initiatives. Our real solutions have produced real results. And through our publications (published and distributed in multiple languages by McGraw-Hill International -Education), with the added input from our Support Members worldwide, we have documented many of these outstanding success stories.

By working with hundreds of American, UK , Australian and Asian organizations, Dr Skiffington understands the unique organizational / business coaching challenges and support requirements faced by our corporate, government and private clients. Equally, as one the world's leading researchers and developers of coaching technology and after training and certifying hundreds of coaches around the world, Dr Skiffington (as a long-term practitioner herself) intimately understands the personal and technical needs and ongoing support necessary for coaches to achieve continued coaching success.

Today, the behavioral coaching model, pioneered over the last decade by Dr. Skiffington, integrates the most advanced research on adult development and human systems theory into an elegantly simple and highly effective validated coaching model of practice. This industry-proven process is taught to Dr Skiffington's select clients so they can effectively apply it in their workplace to achieve sustainable, measurable, significant results.

The Institute's Organizational Support Program:
.- Let's face it. Running your own coaching programs/business can sometimes be unnerving. It's comforting to have the support of someone who has worked with others who have experienced the same problems, concerns and issues…and the same opportunities as yours. 

Our Program Support Members are in business for themselves -but not by themselves. As such, our Members are able to directly tap into Dr Skiffington's extensive library of knowledge and experience as one of the world's leading creators, educators and practitioners of organizational / business coaching.

Our select Program Members (large and small) benefit from a personalized approach and customizable options. Our Project Team headed by Perry Zeus works with you to design a support package that fits your specific needs. As a follow-on, Dr Skiffington personally delivers the Behavioral Coaching Institute's courses and on-site project support.

Keeping the momentum and keeping pace with current world-best standard practice
Our long-term experience clearly shows that you will significantly enhance your program's success factor and simultaneously lower your overall coaching costs with the right 'technical and intellectual support'. Because we only work with a small number of select clients we are able to customize their Support Program to meet their changing requirements and provide 'need-to', personalized support at the highest level. This helps you to meet your ongoing coaching needs, manage a business coaching program at 'world-best industry standard', stay within budget and produce the bottom-line results you expect.

Option 1.
Custom Programs

      
"The mission of our Custom Programs is to develop and deliver customized, experiential learning
       experiences that create a competitive leadership advantage for our clients."
-Dr Skiffington

Introduction
Dr Skiffington works with select organizations on a one-to-one basis to develop coaching learning experiences tailored to their specific in-house practice needs. Whether you have an established coaching program or are establishing one, the custom program solution can help provide your key personnel with the latest valid, industry-proven coaching knowledge and practices and support.

       "Working with Dr Skiffington, we've been able to develop a powerful program for addressing strategic executive
         development issues. A key element of our success with this custom program is that our people were directly
         shown one-to-one by Suzanne how to apply the best practices to our situation and address the issues at hand.
         Our coaching program sponsors, drivers and coaches were also provided an invaluable, individualized blueprint
         for moving to the next level and beyond.
