“Coaching,” for those unfamiliar with the term outside of sports, can be a challenge to sell. That’s because people don’t really buy the idea of coaching, as they might therapy — because, after all, coaches don’t necessarily unearth childhood issues and they certainly don’t promise to resolve trauma or help people recover from mental illness. Coaches do not diagnose and do not provide advice.
Here’s the cold, hard truth: there’s a coach behind every tree and on every corner. It’s a rapidly growing industry, and there are many people out there – with the best of intentions – eager to help those seeking guidance.
Coaching is enjoying a rapid upward trajectory – with a rise in professionals entering the industry, as well as individuals, business owners, executives and even romantic couples seeking highly knowledgeable and qualified coaches, experts are projecting exponential and explosive growth from this year to 2022 and beyond.
