GlaxoSmithKline is the winner
of the 2016 ICF International

Global adopted the Prism
Award, a concept developed
by ICF Toronto recognizing
businesses and organizations

professional coaching pays off
on many fronts. The award
represents the epitome of
what professional coaching
can accomplish within
organizations of all sizes and in
all sectors.
