Why Coaching Isn’t a Perk—It’s HR’s Secret Weapon for Growth

For years, coaching was seen as a perk—something for executives or “high potentials.” But if there’s one thing the past year has made clear, it’s this: coaching isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s the lever HR leaders can pull to drive growth across the business.

Coaching Builds Growth Mindset at Scale

In my work, I’ve seen how coaching sparks mindset shifts leaders can’t get from training alone. Coaching makes growth personal—tailored to real challenges, real blind spots, and real career paths.

Training informs. Coaching transforms.  Coaching Unlocks Hidden Talent

Every organization I’ve worked with has untapped potential. Coaching helps people see what they’re capable of, then builds the behaviors to match. That’s gold for succession planning and promotions.

Coaching Equips HR Leaders to Lead Change

As organizations move toward skills-based models, HR needs new tools. Coaching sharpens how HR and leaders show up, how they influence, and how they embed new ways of working.

My Takeaway From the Past Year

I’ve seen firsthand: when HR leaders bring coaching into the flow of work, it changes not just individuals, but culture. Growth becomes contagious.
