Executive Coaching Outside the USA
People who participated in our survey were invited to leave open-ended comments about the state of coaching as an industry. Some of our most interesting comments came from coaches outside of North America.
In Norway, a coach tells us: “Coaching is rapidly gaining acceptance as a business tool.”
An executive coach in Mexico told us this: “Coaching has grown very much as a profession. Poorly qualified coaches without the right background have also increased in number. This is confusing to the market.”
A South American coach commented “The Peruvian economy is growing and we have a lot of foreign companies with more interest in leadership and coaching. I think coaching focus is evolving and it will become more widely used.”
Executive coaches from the UK left these remarks:
- “At widely varying levels of development and sophistication”
- “Too many unqualified or ‘hobby coaches'”
- “Clients increasingly want business savvy coaches.”
- “Too many coaches are focused on coaching models and theories.”
From Australia: “My sense is that coaching is becoming more and more constrained as many people seek to create a profession. Although I think it is important to ensure quality coaches in the industry, my view is that those who don’t measure up don’t survive.”
