Case Study: Large Global Media Company achieves measurable leadership growth and improved manager alignment with Sounding Board

A Global Media Company Successfully Pilots a Customized Leadership Coaching Program

Large Global Media Company partnered with Sounding Board to pilot a customized leadership coaching program for team leaders across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. The client’s challenge was to deliver coaching centered on its key leadership capabilities, measure individual and regional progress and business impact, and reinforce development beyond the coaching engagement.

Sounding Board delivered a tailored coaching program using its 15-capability framework, technology‑leveraged feedback, automated coach‑matching and manager alignment calls, supported by its platform for between-session work. The pilot achieved an 84% completion rate, 95% coach‑matching success, 87% coachee satisfaction, and strong measured gains (e.g., 50% coachee growth in “Adjust the course,” 37% in “Communicate the vision,” and 36% in “Network to get stuff done”); 92% of coachees and 68% of managers reported improved targeted leadership areas, and Sounding Board has since scaled additional engagements.
