Organizations should allocate more of their overall training budget toward coaching as evidenced by organizations with a strong coaching culture.

makers are the top values endorsed by all age

groups.

The top three work preferences are the same across

most age groups: development opportunities,

career advancement and flexibility at work.

Operational Definition of Coaching Supervision

ICF defines Coaching Supervision as follows:

"Coaching Supervision is the interaction that occurs

when a coach periodically brings his or her coaching work

experiences to a coaching supervisor in order to engage

in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning for the

development and benefit of the coach and his or her

clients."
