We offered the client our Coach-as-a-Service platform on subscription. Via this platform, the client tracks the progress of its overall executive coaching program at the group level. The platform includes session scheduling, attendance tracking, and coaching progress and impact tracking services.
All the leaders who went through the program, found the program beneficial for themselves first, and then for their teams, as they were able to implement their learnings with them.
Leaders felt changes at personal and professional level and the same was confirmed by their teams and families.
