Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our business coaching

Business coaching is a collaborative, solution-focused relationship between a coach and a business leader or team that aims to improve performance and achieve specific business goals. Unlike consultants who typically provide specific solutions or do the work themselves, coaches help clients develop their own capabilities and solutions through questioning, feedback, and guidance. Business coaches focus on building the client's capacity to solve problems independently in the future, while consultants often focus on solving immediate problems with their expertise.

At TurkeyBizCoach, we integrate elements of both coaching and consulting to deliver maximum value, providing strategic guidance while building your capabilities to lead and solve problems independently.

The duration of our coaching engagements varies based on your specific goals and needs. For executive coaching, we typically recommend a minimum commitment of 3-6 months with bi-weekly sessions to achieve meaningful results. For startup acceleration and business growth programs, engagements typically last 6-12 months to support implementation of strategic initiatives.

We begin all engagements with a comprehensive assessment phase to establish clear objectives and KPIs, followed by regular coaching sessions, implementation support, and progress reviews. Many of our clients choose to continue with maintenance coaching after achieving their initial goals to ensure continued growth and accountability.

We believe coaching must deliver measurable results, so we establish clear metrics at the beginning of each engagement. Depending on your goals, we might track financial indicators (revenue growth, profitability, cost reduction), operational metrics (productivity, efficiency, time-to-market), leadership effectiveness (360-degree feedback, employee engagement scores), or business-specific KPIs.

Our coaching platform includes built-in tracking tools that provide real-time visibility into progress against agreed metrics. We conduct formal ROI assessments at regular intervals, typically showing returns between 5-7x the investment in coaching services for our clients who fully implement the recommended strategies.

Yes, our coaching team is multilingual. We offer coaching sessions in Turkish, English, Arabic, and Russian to serve our diverse client base in Turkey and the surrounding regions. We understand that many business leaders and entrepreneurs in Turkey operate in international contexts, so communication flexibility is essential.

All our coaching materials, resources, and digital platform interfaces are available in these languages as well. If you require coaching in another language, please contact us to discuss your specific needs.

While our coaching methodologies are effective across industries, we have particular expertise in technology, e-commerce, manufacturing, professional services, and tourism sectors, which are vital to Turkey's economy. Our coaching team includes individuals with deep industry experience who understand the specific challenges and opportunities in these sectors.

We maintain industry-specific knowledge bases and benchmarking data to provide contextually relevant coaching. However, many of our clients value our cross-industry perspective, which allows us to transfer innovative approaches from one sector to another, often leading to breakthrough results.

Research & Analysis

Insights that inform our coaching methodology

Coaching Effectiveness Studies

We conduct ongoing research on the effectiveness of different coaching methodologies and approaches, allowing us to continuously refine our coaching programs. Our studies measure both quantitative business outcomes and qualitative factors such as leadership effectiveness and organizational culture.

Key insights from our coaching effectiveness research:

  • Integrated coaching approaches that combine one-on-one sessions with team coaching show 40% better results than individual coaching alone
  • Clients who engage in coaching for at least 6 months show significantly better sustainability of results
  • Digital coaching support between sessions increases implementation rates by 65%
