ABOUT US
Ricardo Larrabure has 35+ years of successful contributions to three major organizations in both client facing and administrative functions frequently at the cutting edge of change and cultural adaptation in organizations.
The AMA and The Sherpa Organizations have continued with their annual surveys attempting to answer the following questions. You may find the indicators quite interesting:
- About half of today's companies use coaching. Who's doing it, and why?
- Is coaching really associated with higher performance?
- What's better: internal or external coaching?
- What's the best way to match coach and client?
- Return on investment (ROI) for Coaching - can it be calculated?
- Training programs for coaches: what's the best approach?
- Why doesn't peer coaching work?
The attached link will take you to the results of the surveys done by the American Management Association, the Sherpa Organization plus some data looking at the future through the eyes of existing executive coaches. The AMA Survey is a bit over 70 pages and the Sherpa Survey is around 25 pages. My recommendation is that you at least glance through the AMA Survey first to see the views of Executive Coaching from the company perspective. You will note that the Sherpa Survey is quoted materially in the AMA Survey. The Sherpa Survey will provide you with somewhat more granular detail about Executive Coaching including one methodology for determining the Return On Investment (ROI) of using Executive Coaches. I hope this material will be helpful in your considerations for using outside Executive Coaches. Please feel free to call me or send an e-mail to me at my address. I will happily discuss these with you either in person or over the phone as distance allows.

The Sherpa Process is not smatterings of random intuitions or speculations. Rather, it is a robust and controlled series of activities each of which depends on the client's successful completion of the previous activity.
