During 2003 coaching became the second fastest growing industry in the USA and the UK is set to follow suit.
Coaching is beneficial to anyone from top celebrities to housewives and small to large businesses. A wide range of people use coaches, including Madonna, Vanessa Feltz and business giants IBM.
“Coaching is for people who want to take their life to the next level,” says coach Francine Kaye. Already-successful people often use life coaches because they know the importance of making the most of every opportunity for personal growth. A coach guides you to help you achieve your goals by providing support and being dedicated to your success. A coach will offer insights and perspectives and he/she will be there to listen to you.
It is impossible to define exactly what a life coach will achieve, as there will be a different outcome for each individual. “Life Coaching is a broad church,” says experienced life coach Aboodi Shaby. “Ask 500 coaches what it is, you’d get 500 different answers.”
Until recently coaches were exclusively for top-executives, celebrities, athletes and the rich and famous. Today, with over 60,000 coaches on the planet, coaching has been made available to anyone.
Organizations such as 247coaching.com provide an easy way for individuals to access a suitable coach. With over 5,000 members joining 247coaching.com in just 24 months, coaching directories are proving to be a great tool.
The huge demand for a coach has caused an increase from 500 coaches in the UK in 2001 to over 4,000 in 2004. The coaching industry is becoming more and more established due to the great effects it has on a person’s life.
Life coaching is the latest must-have lifestyle and business accessory - the solution to both workplace under-achievement and premature stress burnout.
