We had both been consulting on change implementations. It occurred to us that when it comes to making change happen, you can have all your Excel sheets and track all the activities. But at the end of the day, it’s about making people move, and effectively at that.
We had both been trainers at Bain. We had developed trainings together. With deep exposure to personal development in the corporate world, we loved seeing people interested in self-development become more effective leaders.
Then Covid hit and all our teams were working crazy hours from home. And we asked ourselves:
If you set yourself a clear framework in terms of content and time and focus on the most important things, business coaching becomes an incredibly effective, easy-to-integrate development tool for lower, middle and upper management.
Working with the top 5% coaches in the world, the cost per coaching minute might be higher, but you need fewer minutes. No fluff. Just pure business coaching.
Yes. We make practice a part of the process, not something that occurs once the coach is out the door.
The Sparrks framework combines two to four 45-minute coaching sessions with spans of practice time, where the coachee is out flexing the leadership muscle with the takeaways from the one-on-one sessions.
The results are immediately noticeable and are integrated into the behavior of the coachee throughout the entire process.
In the words of a business coach, it’s like having the coach work for your company on clear deliverables, to be achieved in sprints.
When we launched early 2021, one of our first clients was our former employer Bain.
For them, as we do for all our clients, we first piloted the offering.
