More and more, coaches are being asked a challenging question: How do you prove the “bottom line” business impact of coaching?
To help answer that question, we’ve partnered with the creators of the ROI Estimator to offer our coaching community a discounted certification opportunity. The ROI Estimator is a practical impact measurement platform that helps coaches, consultants, and organizations capture and translate the outcomes of workforce investments—including coaching—into concrete, credible results, including financial ROI.
Led by the tool’s creator and Leadership Coach Directory member, Dr. Carylynn Larson, Ph.D., PCC, the certification equips practitioners to use an approach specifically designed to address many of the limitations of traditional ROI methodologies. By capturing multiple domains of impact and integrating both qualitative and quantitative data, the ROI Estimator provides a more complete picture of the value coaching creates.
Unlike many ROI approaches that can be complex, costly, and time-intensive, the ROI Estimator is practical and affordable to implement. Certified practitioners can use the tool for as little as $50 per coaching engagement. The process requires only about 15 minutes of client participation and generates a rich report that helps demonstrate impact, support stakeholder conversations, and provide meaningful insights for coaching closeout discussions.
