Coaching Culture

The Quest Connection is proud to be the Licensed Facilitator of ESSENTIAL IMPACT’s Excelerator™ Coaching Programs in the USA.

Essential Impact’s focus is on building coaching cultures to enhance internal teams and build trust, improve communication and ultimately drive business results.

What is a Coaching Culture?

According to Forbes Coaches Council, a coaching culture is a culture where your employees are supported to learn new skills and become greater assets to the company.

A coaching culture is an environment in which most people use coaching principles as a way to lead, manage, influence, or communicate with one another

“In coaching cultures, almost everyone knows what coaching is and many people – including all of the leaders and managers – have training in coaching methods, know how to coach, and are able to lead through coaching.” Essential Impact

Why is a coaching culture important?

“A coaching culture helps people at all levels improve employee engagement, empowers people to excel at their tasks, emphasizes the importance of personal and professional development, rewards creativity, and helps people take pride in their responsibilities.” Embedding a coaching culture moves your team beyond mundane annual performance management and into proactive development throughout the year. One on one coaching creates a consistent and measurable framework that fosters discovery, feedback, reflection, and progress.
