Why Coaching is the New Work Perk

More and more employers are offering coaching as a perk at work. But it wasn't always this way. 20 years ago, executive leadership coaching was a perk limited to a very small subset of employees: people at the very top, or those leaders who were at risk of failing. And in many organizations, coaching retained that reputation: either unavailable to all but the highest rungs, or remedial instruction that you should be embarrassed about needing.  But that's changing. Coaching is seen as a sought-after perk by employees.  Wise employers are listening. And responding. They've seen the impact of coaching on individual employees. They recognize that coaching is a perk that can support, grow, and retain talent.  That means that many companies are more willing to help you if you want to work with a coach.  In this episode, we'll explore how the attitudes around leadership and executive coaching have shifted, and ways you can approach your company around getting coaching even if it's not an advertised perk.
