ABOUT COACH TRAINING – WHY SHOULD YOU?

Every few years, the ICF (International Coach Federation), via PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, administers a global study of coaches worldwide (including non-ICF members), the results of which, comprise a snapshot of where the profession of coaching is, right now, and what the future of coaching may be.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2020 ICF Global Coaching Study: Executive Summary:

Globally, it is estimated that there were approximately 71,000 coach practitioners in 2019, an increase of 33% on the 2015 estimate.

 

So What do Coaches Earn?

  • Income varies widely…
  • Factors include number of years practicing and type of coaching offered
  • Globally, coaches average $47,100 per year USD.
  • The highest earners are in N. America (almost $62,500) followed by Oceania ($61,100,), followed by, and W. Europe ($51,100).

The estimated global total revenue from coaching in 2019 was $2.849 billion U.S. dollars, representing a 21% increase over the 2015 estimate.

 

 

What ABOUT TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION?

 

Nearly all coach practitioners (99%) report that they have completed some coach-specific training. Increasingly, training is through programs accredited/approved by a professional coaching organization.

(93% in the 2020 study, up from 89% in 2016).
93% of managers/leaders using coaching skills have received some coach-specific training, including 79% through programs accredited/approved by a professional coaching organization.

The people and organizations who receive/use coaching expect their coaches to be certified/credentialed. Almost three in four coach practitioners (74%) said they currently hold a credential or certification from a professional coaching organization, up from 70% in the 2016 study.

Most of our current courses are approved by the Center for Credentialing and Education for those who seek to earn the Board Certified Coach Credential.

30, 60, 120 HOUR BCC APPROVED TRAINING

In today’s climate -corporate and personal – challenges, even crises are sadly becoming the norm. Yet dealing with them in productive, effective, and compassionate ways lead to more than surviving – it is about Thriving.

We have all experienced various levels of challenge – and some of us also threat and crises. While many can control their reactions, many will also feel overwhelmed and shut down. Yet, with the right awareness, support, and skills, we can control and even improve our responses. In fact, coaching can create frameworks for individuals and teams to move past their deficit mindset and into a growth mindset – fostering resilience and creating skills, pathways, and behaviors for healthier stress management and sustainable lasting impact and achievements. This training not only allows you to help others shift;  it is transformational in itself as you reconnect and re-discover your purpose, your assets, and your personal and professional direction, and your ability to adapt and BECOME MORE.
