Free briefing
Proving the value of coaching
You know your coaching programme is making a difference. The hard part is showing it, in a way your leadership team trusts, without asking coachees to give up the confidentiality that makes coaching work.
This free briefing is five short emails, sent every few days, each with one practical idea and something you can use straight away.

Email 1
Your satisfaction scores might be underselling your coaching

Agree what "worth it" looks like before session one
How a short three-way conversation with the sponsor sets up everything you'll report on later.
Includes: sponsor expectations sheet
-
Email 3
What the board sees, and what stays in the room
Where to draw the line between what gets reported and what stays private, so coachees can stay candid.
Includes: reporting boundary wording
-
Email 4
Claim less, prove more
Why big ROI figures backfire, and a more honest way to show impact that leaders actually believe.

-
Email 5
Your one-page coaching impact report
Pulling it all together into a single page you can put in front of your leadership team.
Includes: coaching impact report template
Who it's for
- L&D, HR and people leaders running coaching across their organisation who need to show it's working
- Coaching practices delivering programmes for clients who expect more than a satisfaction score
It works whether you use internal coaches, external coaches or a mix.
Why we wrote it
Mentric helps organisations and coaching practices run their coaching programmes in one place and show what they achieved. In our conversations, the same problem keeps coming up: everyone believes coaching works, but very few can show it convincingly. This briefing is what we'd tell anyone in that position, whether or not they ever use Mentric.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. No card details, no trial, nothing to buy.
Is this a sales pitch in disguise?
No. The first four emails are purely practical. The last one offers a free 20-minute review of how you report on coaching, if you'd find that useful. There's no obligation.
Can I share it with colleagues or coaches I work with?
Please do. Send them this page so they get the templates too.
