Coaching is 7 times more effective!

Studies conducted with patients who had severe medical conditions that required lifestyle changes in order to live. The sad fact was that after only 12 months, 90 percent of the patients had reverted back to their old lifestyles, virtually guaranteeing an impending death. Faced with the imminent threat of death, an overwhelming majority of people still failed to consistently make more productive choices. There was a group that had a much higher success rate—almost seven times greater. These patients were involved in coaching and they had a success rate of nearly 80 percent. The groups not involved in coaching had a 10 percent success rate. The lesson is that if you are implementing change, don’t go it alone. Your chances of success are seven times greater if you employ support.
