BC Housing’s commitment to coaching has transformed the
internal culture of the company. From the ways employees
engage one another, to the ways they approach daily
operational issues and in the pursuit of reaching their
performance goals, coaching for performance has helped give

“Organizations change one conversation at a time,” says Julie
Jones of Knightsbridge. “Coaching is an impetus for change
that can provide individuals with a different way to interact. BC
Housing stands out as one of the rare organizations that have
found a way to do this by immersing and sustaining coaching
into the way in which they lead and conduct business.”
