Investing in your wellbeing: the ROI that's beyond dollars
Investing in your Wellbeing: the ROI that's beyond dollars
When you hear the word "investing," chances are your mind goes to stocks, real estate, or starting a business. But have you ever thought about investing in yourself? It's something we often overlook, even though it might be one of the smartest and most rewarding decisions you can make. Services like wellness coaching, stress management, or Biodecoding aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re powerful tools that can completely transform your personal and professional life.
And here’s the good news: the return on this investment is very real. Let’s break it down.
1. Gain clarity, set goals, and see real results
One of the best things about working with a coach is that it clears the mental fog and helps you focus. According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), 86% of clients said they got their money’s worth, and a staggering 96% said they’d recommend coaching to others (ICF, 2016).
What it means for you: With the right support, you’ll find yourself achieving goals you thought were out of reach.
Real-world story: One client I worked with used coaching to organise her day better. Not only did she become more productive, but she also finally got around to starting a side project she’d been dreaming about for years—and it ended up boosting her income.
The same study from ICF found that employees who received coaching experienced a 70% improvement in work performance and a 50% increase in personal productivity. That’s a serious upgrade.
2. Manage stress and reclaim balance
Stress doesn’t just mess with your mind—it impacts your health, your relationships, and even your wallet. The Australian Psychological Society (APS) found that chronic stress is directly linked to issues like insomnia, digestive problems, and even heart disease (APS, 2020). And when you’re overwhelmed, your productivity tanks and self-confidence takes a hit. Sound familiar?
Financial benefits: Research published in Health Affairs found that wellness programs can slash medical expenses by 26% (Baicker et al., 2010).
Life-changing benefits: Reduced stress, more energy, better relationships.
For people I work with, Biodecoding can be a game-changer. By digging into the emotional roots of physical issues, it’s possible to ease chronic symptoms and see overall health improvements.
3. Unlock productivity and creativity
Coaching isn’t just about managing your to-do list—it can spark creativity and sharpen your focus. A study by MetrixGlobal LLC showed that the average ROI from coaching is an eye-popping 529% (MetrixGlobal LLC, 2016).
Real-world story: One of my clients with ADHD used coaching to learn stress management techniques. Not only did her work improve, but she also stopped feeling constantly overwhelmed.
And there’s data to back this up: The Conference Board found that employees with better emotional wellbeing are 23% more productive (The Conference Board, 2020). That means better results at work and more time to spend on the things you love.
4. Boost your finances indirectly
Here’s something people don’t often think about: taking care of yourself can have a big impact on your finances. When you’re clear-headed, healthy, and productive, you avoid unnecessary expenses and create opportunities you didn’t even see before.
What the research says: A PwC Australia study showed that people with emotional and financial wellbeing support feel 69% less stressed at work, which makes it easier to make smart decisions (PwC, 2023).
Real-world story: I had a client who used coaching to work on her confidence and break through limiting beliefs about money. She ended up negotiating a promotion and boosting her income by over 15%.
5. The most important ROI: a new version of you
This is my favourite part of what I do—watching clients go through incredible transformations. It never gets old seeing someone’s energy, confidence, and sense of purpose blossom as we work together.
And it’s not just anecdotal. The Harvard Business Review found that 77% of people who work with a coach report significant improvements in their emotional wellbeing (Sherman & Freas, 2004).
Real-world story: One client came to me feeling anxious and stuck. Through our work together, she reduced her stress, built healthier boundaries, and found the focus she needed to create a life she loved.
So, Is It Worth It?
Here’s a question to ask yourself:
How much time and energy are you spending trying to figure everything out on your own?
A study from the University of Warwick found that happier people with the right support are 12% more productive. That’s more progress, less stress, and a lot more balance in your life (Oswald et al., 2015).
Your wellbeing is your best investment
Investing in coaching, stress management, or Biodecoding isn’t a cost—it’s a commitment to yourself and the life you want to live. And the return? It’s not just in dollars. It’s in the energy, health, and happiness you bring to every single day.
