Leadership Quote
"If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn't any limit to what you can do with your business and your life. Ideas are any man's greatest asset."
1. What Is HFLC?
Since our discovery of and focus on executive coaching in 2008, we have built the most-recognized brand in Executive Coaching in Greater China, and validated one belief, that in developing leaders and inspiring their performance, coaching IS simply the most effective methodology.
Our belief in untapped human potential is best summed up by a quote by Bob Nardelli, former CEO of Home Depot: "I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum capabilities."
The benefits of coaching have been well-recognized by organizations throughout the world. Coaching works because it helps real communication and real relationships happen, it enables deeper self-awareness and lasting behavior change, and it empowers trust, teamwork and breakout performance.
Countless research findings have proven the incredible power of coaching. One Harvard Business Review article declares that "many of the world's most admired corporations, from GE to Goldman Sachs, invest in coaching. Annual spending on coaching in the US is estimated at roughly $2 billion dollars.” A Fortune magazine article highlights that "in a recent study, training alone improved leadership skills by 22%. When combined with Executive Coaching, improvement jumps to 77%."
However, though the value of coaching is appreciated by most organizations worldwide, many companies are intimidated by the high cost of 1:1 coaching, which is among the highest in the world in China due to weak supply of high-quality coaches. Most of them limit 1:1 coaching to only a small number of executives. The power of coaching therefore is inaccessible to the majority of high-level leaders, let alone mid-level managers, emerging leaders and HIPOs.
In order to close the gap, MindSpan, Greater China’s quality and market leader in executive coaching, is now launching HFLC as a brand-new offering to companies who are keen to develop talent and build bench strength faster and more effective for aspirational success. After having tested the HFLC model in leading MNCs such as Ford, GE, Microsoft, Deloitte, Saint-Gobain and ABB, which has reported back with a stunning 94% participant satisfaction rate, we now offer the HFLC to client companies as:
1) A stand-alone coaching program for mid-level managers, emerging leaders and HIPOs
2) A key component in an existing leadership/management development program for significantly-enhanced effectiveness and participant impact
By leveraging our huge pool of 700 certified or well-trained leadership coaches, we can make coaching affordable to most people-centric and leadership- driven organizations, and help them make quality of leadership their unrivaled competitive edge.
2. What’s Unique about the HFLC?
The HFLC is unique because of 2 reasons: 1) for companies who are experienced with coaching, they can source high-quality coaches for their leaders of tomorrow at very low cost, which is generally a fraction of the going rate of executive coaching and therefore allow the expanded use; and
2) for companies who are new to coaching, they can experiment coaching with minimal risk.
Flexibility is another client benefit. We can not only provide 1:1 coaching to individual leaders, but group coaching to a team of leaders, depending on the context and client needs.
3. Quality of HFLC Coaches
Most HFLC coaches are gifted and passionate people developers, certified/ trained leadership coaches and former corporate executives or senior managers from leading companies with a wealth of business and coaching experience. They can also be executives who have graduated from leading coaching certification programs. To give you an idea of who these coaches are, below is a list of HFLC coaches who have provided service to clients:
• Former Asia Pacific President of Ingersoll Rand
• Former Greater China President and Asia Pacific SVP of German companies
• Former China HR VP of J&J Medical

Over time, we will recruit more highly-motivated coaches with solid corporate experience, we will boast a steady supply of high-quality coaches for expanding HFLC needs. A big number of our HFLC coaches are literally bilingual, thanks to their long and successful careers with leading MNCs.
