Dear Students,
 
For those who live and breathe the goal of helping aspiring talent like you to launch successful global careers, it’s very clear just how much coaching can benefit ambitious international students. It can be useful to step back and reflect on the impact of the services MCI delivers, however, especially through research from a leading global consulting firm, who has surveyed a large group of consumers. Conducted by PwC, and commissioned by the International Coach Federation, the most recent Global (Coaching) Consumer Awareness survey (from 2022) incorporates nearly 31,000 responses across 30 countries.
 
Per study results, some of the major benefits of coaching that cut across geography, function and level include:
  • Heightening self-awareness (partly through identifying blind spots)
  • Increased ability to build on individual strengths
  • Enhancing communication skills
  • Helping aspiring talents to expand their professional career opportunities
  • Accelerating onboarding to a new professional role
  • Increased critical thinking gained through self-reflection
  • Supporting leadership skill development
  • Heightening listening skills
  • Increasing sensitivity to inclusiveness
  • Stimulating collaboration
All of these (and of course, many others) help to foster greater work satisfaction, passion and engagement, meaning greater retention and less turnover for companies, more fulfillment for individuals like you, and more productivity all around.
 
Coaching can be a powerful professional development tool to help people maximize their full potential at any stage of their careers.

As writer Flame Schroeder, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) from the International Coach Federation explains, “Coaching builds skills that last an entire career.”  Schroeder elaborates by adding: “Coaching can be a powerful professional development tool to help people maximize their full potential at any stage of their careers and achieve meaningful outcomes.”
 
While candidates like you may value a periodic refresher on the many benefits you do or will receive through our MCI coaching program, it’s apparent that you will never “outgrow” the learning you gain within it, regardless of the professional path (or paths) you choose.
