How do you really know if coaching worked? It’s easy to feel good about the process, but harder to prove whether it led to actual results. If you're investing time and money into coaching, you need a way to track its impact—beyond just good feelings or positive feedback.

In this episode, I will break down how organizations and leaders can evaluate coaching effectiveness. I will share why it's not enough to ask clients if they "feel better" and instead offer concrete strategies for tracking behavior change, assessing stakeholder feedback, and measuring second-order effects.

Main Ideas:

• The challenge of measuring coaching impact
• Why coaching is a long-term investment, not a quick fix
• Using stakeholder feedback and 360 tools for before-and-after comparisons
• Looking for observable behavior changes, not internal insights
• How comparison groups and business metrics can support evaluation

I will also talk through examples from my coaching practice, explain how to align expectations with outcomes, and offer a reminder: while financial ROI is hard to prove, a return on expectations (ROE) can be a strong indicator of success.

Let’s get a clearer picture of how coaching creates change—and how to measure it in ways that matter.

Capturing essence in conversations builds trust, deepens connections, and improves communication.

We often summarize conversations to show we’re listening, but simple summaries don’t always make people feel heard. Capturing the essence—recognizing emotions and core messages—deepens conversations and builds trust.

In this episode, I explore how leaders and coaches can develop this skill to connect more meaningfully and communicate with greater impact.

Main Ideas:

• Why simple summaries don’t always make people feel heard.
• The difference between summarizing and capturing the essence.
• How to recognize emotions and core messages in conversations.
• Practical ways to use essence statements in leadership and coaching.
• How this skill builds trust and strengthens communication.

How can you start using essence statements to create deeper connections?
