Welcome to XENERGIE 
What Gets Measured Gets Done - We Walk our Talk
FREE Evaluation, % Money Back Guarantee & 15% Saving


Executive coaching has proven positive returns on investment, employee relationships and work engagement, according to Fortune 500 companies such as IBM, Dell, Bristol Myers, Johnson & Johnson and Boeing. Evidence from studies conducted by the Manchester Group and others, demonstrate that executive coaching is a sound investment and can be applied to a wide variety of human resource and business issues.
 
Nevertheless our study suggests a direct link between better measurement and management of the coaching process and coaching effectiveness. The boundaries of executive coaching have yet to be defined, as coaching matures, companies and coaches will likely look to systematic ways of measuring results and determining the value of the service based on its impact on organisations.
 
Money Back GuaranteeXenergie is now launching FREE COACHING EVALUATION until 31 December 08': this is open to all companies who have invested in coaching with Xenergie OR other providers, and wish to evaluate the success of their  programmes against behavioural and business objectives.

Who is accountable in Executive Coaching?

Measuring the Effectiveness of Executive Coaching and the Importance of the Triangular Relationship in Contracting Measurement

Coaching Accountability Margaret McHale, MBA student, conducted a primary research project as part of her thesis - Executive Coaching as an Intervention Tool, from the Coachee's Perspective - with the help of Xenergie Consulting Ltd, a long-established executive coaching practice predominantly operating in Ireland and UK. 

The overall aim and objective of this dissertation was to evaluate Executive Coaching as an intervention tool, from the coachee's perspective. In this article, we mainly explore one of the most profound emergences from the survey which concerns the evaluative process of executive coaching and the extent to which the benefits of coaching are measured and integrated into business change through the stages of the executive coaching assignment.

Who was surveyed?
The survey was sent, in Spring 2008, to in excess of 60 executive coachees who had experienced executive coaching in the last three years with Xenergie. The response rate was 45% and conducted using electronic - based questionnaires.

Raise Your Game Above The Crisis NOT Further into the Crisis:  212 - the extra degree that will make a difference.
  
 
212At 211 degrees water is hot.  At 212 degrees it boils.  With boiling water comes steam and steam can power a locomotive.
 

All human structures wrestle with the reality that life in organisations, however large or small, carries on at the verge of chaos.  But from chaos, we need steam, not just boiling water.  Today power is shifting, and in such situations there is a mysterious symbiosis between leader and follower - who is leading and are they actually leading or in reality following, and are they boiling or making steam?
 
To handle this, it important to explore one's own inner swing between survival behaviour and innovation behaviour - at whatever level of the business you are in, YOUR attitude counts.  The two  behaviours have very different attributes: in one we try to minimise in the other we strive to create; one will maintain the status quo, and the other will result in transformation; one makes us lazy and one makes us stronger; one will steer us into the bend with the potential of crashing and the other will carve a new route which avoids the bend altogether.   Which one do you think will result in the type of transformational change that is required in our current world economic crisis?
