The Challenge

Great coaching is hard to prove.

You know your work changes leaders. You’ve seen it — the shift in how a client listens, delegates, recognizes their team. But when the engagement ends, what do you leave behind? A relationship. A sense of progress. And a client who has to take it on faith that the investment was worth it.

When budget conversations come up, coaching is the first line item on the chopping block — because it’s the hardest one to defend with data. The Leadership Impact Index changes that.

Run a baseline at the start of every engagement. Deploy it again at the end. Hand your client a nine-dimension before-and-after report that shows exactly what shifted, and by how much — validated by the same research team that produced 14 peer-reviewed studies from Mayo Clinic.

What the Leadership Impact Index Solves for Coaches
1

Objective baseline before you begin

Stop relying on self-assessment and anecdote. Know exactly which of the nine dimensions need the most work — before session one.

2

Evidence of behavior change over time

Track how your client’s scores move across each cycle of the engagement. Coaching isn’t linear — the data shows you where to focus next.

3

A deliverable your clients can show their executive team

A comparison report showing score improvement across nine validated dimensions. Hard to ignore. Easy to renew.

The Coaching Cycle

Four steps. Built around your engagement.

The Leadership Impact Index integrates cleanly into any coaching or consulting methodology — as a measurement layer that runs alongside your sessions.

Deploy baseline assessment

At the start of the engagement, your client’s team completes the 9-question assessment. Results are ready within hours. This is your coaching compass.

Target your sessions

The nine-dimension breakdown shows you exactly which behaviors need the most development. Focus your sessions where data says it matters most.

Run mid-point check-ins

Deploy additional assessments throughout the engagement to track progress in real time. See what’s moving and what still needs work.

Close with proof

End every engagement with a before-and-after Category Trends report showing score change across all nine dimensions. This is your return on investment report.

Before & After

A report that speaks for itself

The Leadership Impact Index’s Category Trends and Leader Detail views give you a clean, client-ready before-and-after comparison — no specialist needed to interpret it.

Show your client exactly what changed

At the close of an engagement, your client gets a report that shows their scores across all nine leadership dimensions at the start versus the most recent cycle. Green bars represent improvement. The data does the talking.

  • Score change by dimension: first versus latest assessment
  • Category Growth Breakdown: which dimensions grew fastest versus stalled
  • Score trajectory chart versus organizational average
  • Exportable for executive or board presentations
  • Historical data preserved across all assessment cycles

Why Coaches Choose the Leadership Impact Index

Built for practices that want to differentiate
on depth — not just credentials

Mayo Clinic validated — the credential your clients recognize

When you present a before-and-after report backed by Mayo Clinic and 14+ peer-reviewed studies, you’re not selling coaching — you’re delivering clinical-grade evidence of behavioral change.

14+ peer-reviewed studies

No certification, no training, no outside consultant fees

The Leadership Impact Index is fully self-administered. Your clients set up their own assessment, their teams respond in under 60 seconds, and results appear immediately. You interpret and coach — the platform handles everything else.

No certification required

9 dimensions replace vague feedback with specific data

Instead of “I want to be a better communicator,” your client arrives at session one knowing their Communication score is 61 and their Coaching score is 53. Your sessions go deeper, faster.

9 clinically validated dimensions

Add a premium deliverable to every engagement

The before-and-after Leader Detail report is a coaching deliverable your clients can present to their board, their HR team, or their manager. It turns your engagement into a documented business investment.

Client-ready reporting

Drives engagement renewal and program expansion

When a client sees their scores improving, they want to keep going. When their HR team sees the data, they ask how to deploy it across more leaders. The Leadership Impact Index turns single engagements into ongoing partnerships.

Built-in return on investment for re-engagement

Equally powerful for individual and group coaching

Use the Leader Detail report for one-on-one executive coaching. Use the Organization Heatmap to facilitate group programs and show leaders how they compare across a cohort. One platform, multiple use cases.

Individual and cohort ready

FAQ

Questions from coaches & consultants

No. The Leadership Impact Index requires no certification, training, or facilitation credentials. It’s fully self-administered — your client sets up their assessment, their team responds, and results appear automatically. You interpret and coach.

Custom and co-branded reporting options are available for consulting firms and coaching practices. Contact our team to discuss white-label options for your practice.
The minimum threshold is five responses before any scores are revealed. For clients with fewer than five direct reports, the assessment can be deployed to a broader set of stakeholders — peers, cross-functional partners — to meet the threshold and get a fuller picture.
Those tools measure personality traits, preferences, or self-perceived tendencies. The Leadership Impact Index measures observed leadership behavior — how a leader’s direct reports actually experience them, across nine clinical dimensions. These tools complement each other rather than compete.
Yes — the Organization Heatmap view is ideal for group cohort programs. You can show leaders how they compare across dimensions, identify shared development areas, and track the program’s impact across the cohort from first to final assessment.
