Resources: WABC, ICF and ROI

While I was attending the European ICF Conference last week in Brussels, the latest edition of WABC Newsletter came out. I strongly encourage you to check it out and not just because I am a regular writer for them. This month, they really do have some excellent articles.

A big topic at the ICF Conference, is ROI. You might find this article on the subject useful: The ROI of Business Coaching Revisited by Bronwyn Bowery-Ireland.

Numerous models are available to measure the ROI of business coaching. Some are adaptations of Donald Kirkpatrick's or Jack Phillips', while others afford new and refreshing methods of evaluating the coaching process. This column examines Mel Leedham's Coaching Scorecard, which is based on the way purchasers measure the effectiveness of external business coaches.

Kudo’s to the Belgium Chapter and organizers of the European ICF event. While there is always something one could complain about, they did a great job readjusting from the expected 450 participants to over 600. What a wonderful success. I was particularly impressed with the key note speakers.
