Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know your experts will deliver?
All experts go through a rigorous screening process, in which we verify their credentials and our top experts interview them on their specific area of expertise. But the real validation relies on customer reviews. Experts are rated by customers after each engagement, and their ranking affects their likelihood of being matched. If their ranking goes below 4/5, they’re removed from our pool of experts. We can proudly say that customers rate our experts 4.8/5 on their ability to deliver results.
Are five sessions enough to see real progress?
Yes! To get employee development right, you need focus. That’s why we offer five-session sprints, which we found to be the most effective at achieving a well-defined goal. It’s important to say that what participants get is proportional to what they put in. The experts guide and provide resources, but it’s up to participants to put what they learn into practice.
What skills can employees work on?
Growthspace offers a network of over 2,500 experts with 80+ areas of expertise. Some of the most popular skills are leadership, communication, career planning, productivity, management, client management, and best practice exchange, but there are many (many) more to choose from.
What’s the time commitment required from participants?
A program typically consists of five one-hour sessions over 6-8 weeks. After each session, experts provide resources or assignments that take up to 30 minutes. We also ask participants to provide feedback at the mid-point and end of the program. All in all, it’s a focused program with a limited time commitment.
What’s the difference between an expert and a coach?
Growthspace experts differ from traditional coaches by offering highly specialized knowledge in specific skill sets aligned with business needs. While many of our experts hold certifications such as ICF, IAF, or SHRM, we do not limit expertise to one type of certification, ensuring flexibility and a broader range of skills. This allows us to match participants with the best-fit expert for their unique needs going beyond conventional coaching approaches
