Making It As a Coach: Tips for Success

The professional coaching industry is growing rapidly, creating new opportunities as well as challenges for both new and experienced coaches.

Experts suggest there are several key factors that have led to the explosive growth of coaching. Each provides opportunities as well as some challenges to Making It as a Coach.

Key factors contributing to the growth of coaching include;

→ THE NEED. The type of work being performed and the way that works gets done has changed. We have moved from routine, repetitive measurable work, to work that involves critical thinking, analysis, and creativity. The old ways of managing and leading are not effective in today’s environment. What is more effective for this environment is competency in soft skills, i.e. coaching. Managers, leaders, and their teams are seeking these skills.

→ A CHANGE IN CORPORATE CULTURE. Companies that once provided coaching only to C-suite executives now offer it to middle managers and throughout the organization.

→ RESULTS. Surveys, as well as anecdotal information, demonstrate coaching works. In an independent global survey released in 2016 by the ICF, 85 percent of respondents who had been in a coaching relationship said they were somewhat or very satisfied.

→ RELATIVELY LOW BARRIER TO ENTRY. The industry is not regulated and there is no requirement that one attains a certain level of training or education prior to becoming a coach. Note: This is also one of the challenges faced by new and experienced coaches – how to establish credibility and set yourself apart.

One key tip to remember is to invest in education. An investment in education and training will not only give you the skills and confidence you need but will also help you market yourself. And, it is important to keep the learning going. Even after you have the basics down it is important to refresh, enhance and refine your skills.
