Students feel appreciated for their strengths, as well as more aware of their developmental needs.
Coaches' Observations Coaches observations corroborated those of the students. At the end of the coaching day, we asked the coaches to consider their perception of the impact on students see questions below. The students appeared to be quite engaged with most of our coaches, and most also appeared to be learning something important to their development. Consequently, coaches reported that they also were taking away valuable personal and professional knowledge. It has been our intention from the beginning of the program to provide an experience that will help our alumni and MBA students perform more effectively in helping their own employees and colleagues.
