A Meta-Analysis of Executive Coaching Return on Investment (ROI) Studies

During debriefing, participants reflect on their experiences, recognize learning that has taken place, and evaluate that learning and its relation to future experiences. Effective debriefing is lead by a facilitator and answered by all participants. Debriefing should be action-oriented and address all types of learning, including cognitive (knowledge), kinesthetic (skills), behavioral (motives), and affective (feelings). Facilitators should be prepared to follow the line of answers brought out by participants while maintaining focus on the topics addressed by the activities.

For organizations to maximize value, increase productivity, and create a sustainable culture of leadership development, the right training is critical. Many educational studies show that the best way to learn how to do a task is to do it. Likewise, it is widely accepted that scenarios using imaginative elements lead to increased attention span and involvement. To prepare for maximum retention it is advisable to immerse participants in a learning environment that engages multiple senses and follows a structure that allows for reflection and active experimentation.
