Why Coaching Works

---

 One study in 2003 revealed that life coaching had positive effects on improvement in personal insights, mental health, quality of life, and goal attainment. [1]

 A number of studies have repeatedly reported that coaching can support individuals in responding more positively to stress, pressure, and life transitions by enabling them to regain self-confidence, balance their resources, and deepen their understanding of life. [2][3][4][5]

A quasi-experimental study conducted in 2010 demonstrated that life coaching plays an important role and has a sustained effect in enhancing the intrinsic motivation, happiness, and overall well-being of participants. [6]

 One review of studies in 2016 found coaching had effectively reduced procrastination and facilitated goal attainment. [7]

A 2020 study published by the American Psychology Association recommended coaching be used as an intervention alongside systematic changes to burnout prevention, as coaching was found to alleviate burnout and well-being in primary care physicians. [8]

In 2021, research has consistently shown that coaching effectively facilitates work-related outcomes, specifically goal attainment, self-efficacy, work satisfaction, sustainable changes, and the psychological well-being of clients. [9]
