90% of coaching is a waste of time. Prove us wrong.

An invitation-only conversation for senior HR and Talent leaders

You invest in coaching. Your executives ask for it. Your board expects it. But when someone asks what it actually delivers, can you honestly answer with confidence?

Coaching has never been more in demand. But has it ever been under more scrutiny? With budget under pressure, expectations evolving and AI moving the coaching goalpost, the conversation is shifting.

It's no longer enough for coaching to feel valuable. It needs to deliver value. And the question leaders keep asking is a fair one:

How do we know it's actually making a difference?

We're bringing together a select group of senior HR and Talent leaders for a candid, peer-to-peer, thought-provoking conversation about proving the value of coaching, and making sure it has the impact it should.

 No sales pitches. No rehearsed answers. Just an honest conversation about what works, what doesn't and what needs to change.

The questions worth asking

Together, we'll explore five critical areas:

  1. Is all coaching created equal? Where does coaching deliver meaningful impact, and where are organisations investing without seeing the returns they expect?
  2. Can you prove coaching works? What does credible evidence look like, and how can we demonstrate value in a way that resonates beyond HR, including with CEOs, CFOs and executive boards?
  3. How to get the right impact? What separates coaching that feels rewarding in the moment from coaching that genuinely changes leadership behaviour and organisational performance?
  4. Where does AI fit? Where can technology enhance the coaching experience, and where does human connection, judgement and expertise remain essential?
  5. What does coaching look like tomorrow? How must our approach evolve to remain relevant, effective and worthy of continued investment?

Why join the conversation?

This isn't another presentation about the benefits of coaching. It's an opportunity to exchange perspectives with senior peers, hear from experts shaping the future of coaching and challenge conventional thinking in an open, safe, and trusted environment.

You'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical questions to take back to your organisation and a clearer understanding of how to evaluate, strengthen and demonstrate the impact of coaching.

Who should attend?

This exclusive gathering is designed for senior HR, Talent, Leadership Development and People leaders who influence or oversee coaching strategy and investment.

It's for those who believe in the potential of coaching, but aren't afraid to question whether current approaches are delivering everything they should.

Are you ready to challenge the status quo?

Join us for the conversation the coaching industry needs to have.
