Who Responds To The Survey?
Executive coaches made up two-thirds of our respondents. Human resources and training professionals provide about 10% of our responses, as do life coaches and other professionals. Coaching clients and those who purchase coaching services round out the poll. This year, 40% of our respondents were not on Sherpa’s original list of invitees.
Nearly 700 people responded to this survey, providing a margin of error of less than 4%. The accuracy of the survey is also confirmed by comparison with responses from five previous years’ research, allowing the confirmation of trends over time. Based on an ever-increasing body of knowledge, the 2011 survey accurately identifies changes and trends in industry practices.
