How can coaching help businesses in Africa?
Africa is a growing economy projected to elevate from 3.9 per cent at present to 4.1 per cent CAGR in 2021, according to African Economic Outlook 2020. In recent years, there has been a mushrooming of start-ups in the region and global corporations trying to penetrate the African market.
It is a rapidly evolving market, and one has to stay
updated to the changes happening within the industry continually. However, with
growth and continual development comes stifling competition and pressure that
corporate leaders have to balance and not lose focus from the organizational
objectives.
While dealing with the hurdles of running an organization, people
holding leadership positions, and the employees can lose direction and break
under pressure. However, a natural progression can have a damning impact on the
productivity and growth of the business. In situations like these, business
or corporate coaching can induce the right motivation within the organizational
structure.
Understanding the Business Context of Coaching
Coaching's business context refers to corporate coaching, which
instills professional discipline in individuals through motivation and unlocks
their true potential to achieve organizational objectives individually or
collectively as a corporate team.
Corporate
coaches assist the core team within an organization, such as executives,
managers, team leaders, etc. They help these individuals to self-assess the
problems and find sustainable solutions enhancing their productivity and
performance.
Business coaching paves the way for future growth
and development for both an individual and the organization that he/she is part
of. The sessions are focused on driving the executives to find their path to
success. Here’s how coaching benefits a person:
·
It aids one to realize their potential and goals
·
Motivates to take actions towards the achievement of
those goals by leveraging the potential
·
Grow a sense of self-awareness and self-reliance
·
Be an asset to the team and the organization as a
whole
·
Gain the confidence and ability to guide a team or
the organization
·
Make a greater contribution for uninterrupted
development of the organization
·
Be responsible and accountable for individual and
team actions
·
Be more affirmative while taking decisions

Enhancement in communication skills and productivity
Imagine the positive impact on your business when an executive
imbibes all the attributes mentioned above through corporate coaching.
According to the International Coach Federation (ICF), around 80% of the

self-confidence and improved productivity and work performance, which has been
of immense benefit to the organization or business.
