It seems like a lifetime since I launched my coaching practice in 1997. In fact, there were only 5000 coaches of all disciplines (business, life, time management, career, etc.) internationally. Today, that number has soared to include those educated by reputable institutions to those who merely hang out a shingle and call themselves a coach. In fact, a recent report by IBISWorld shows that 46,700 firms provide coaching for business in the U.S. alone. It’s growing!
