The Transformative Power of Coaching

As a leader, do you want to remove barriers to performance and improve your confidence and well-being? Do you want to do this for those on your teams as well, retaining your top talent?  

The answer is, of course, YES!  

In today's fast-paced world, the need for continuous growth and development has never been more critical. One of the most effective ways to achieve this growth is through leadership and executive coaching. In this blog post, we’ll share the role of coaching in leadership development and the far-reaching benefits that result.   

The Role of Coaching in Leadership Development   

Coaching provides a structured and supportive environment where leaders can explore their goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them. It fosters self-awareness, enhances emotional intelligence, and builds resilience. By having the opportunity to slow down and reflect with a coach, leaders gain a fresh perspective on their work, identifying areas where they need to develop new mindsets or skill sets that will serve themselves and their teams better.  

Through regular coaching sessions, individuals can gain clarity on their values and priorities, leading to more fulfilling and balanced lives. A study conducted by the International Coaching Federation found:  

“81% of [leaders] reported that their overall well-being (stress, health, focus, and burnout) improved due to leadership coaching.”  

Here are a few proven benefits of coaching: 

Improves Performance: For leaders, a commitment to consistent coaching is a game-changer. The same study also shows that coaching consistently improves leader performance, with leaders reporting that, due to coaching, they are “better equipped to utilize new behaviors at work.”  

Boosts Confidence: Coaching supports leaders in making meaningful behavioral changes, as they feel more confident. Notably, 94% of leaders report that their overall confidence in their leadership has improved due to coaching.  

Retains Talent: Coaching is a proven tool for organizations to retain their top talent. The ICF study found that 70% of those engaged in coaching felt more positive about staying with their organization. 

Executive Coaching at Kane Learning  

At Kane Learning, we specialize in coaching for leaders and executives. Our coaching is designed to empower leaders and drive organizational success. Our executive coaching services focus on: 

• Leadership Development: Enhancing leadership capabilities (mindsets and skillsets) to inspire and motivate teams. 

• Performance Improvement: Identifying areas for improvement and developing actionable plans. 

• Change Management: Equipping leaders with the tools to manage and lead through change effectively. 

Our experienced coaches work closely with leaders to tailor coaching programs that meet their unique needs and challenges, and our coaches witness the fantastic results.

"For me, coaching is about helping people lead with purpose and clarity. I believe the best leaders are not the ones with all the answers, but the ones who ask the right questions - of themselves and of others. My role as a coach is to create space for reflection, challenge assumptions, and help leaders see both their strengths and their blind spots. It is incredibly rewarding to watch someone grow into their confidence and lead in a way that feels both true to who they are and effective in the real world.

"At Kane Learning, we talk a lot about aligning personal leadership style with business results. That is not just a tagline, it is how we work. I believe coaching is most impactful when it connects the inner work (like self-awareness and mindset) with the outer work (like communication, decision-making, and performance). When leaders understand who they are and how they show up, they are more capable of building trust, driving outcomes, and leading teams through complexity and change."

Michelle and Lisa have a unique ability to listen, challenge, and guide in a way that builds confidence and encourages growth. Their insight has helped me become a more thoughtful and effective leader.

"Kane Learning has also played an important role in supporting the development of our landscape and facilities teams. Lisa has helped guide team conversations, strengthen communication, and build trust across departments. Her work has brought clarity and focus to our goals while also helping our teams work more collaboratively and effectively. I’m truly grateful for the partnership and the positive impact Kane Learning has had on our organization."
