Here at Predictable Success®, as well as teaching and consulting on mentoring and coaching, for more than 10 years we've been conducting original research on how organizations learn to mentor and coach. Here's what our research told us:

An amazing 83% of people interviewed say they would like to devote time to mentoring and coaching others. Yet, less than 4% actually do so - usually because of either a lack of understanding of what is involved, or time pressure.
