  SPECIAL REPORT - EXTENDED WEB VERSION  

Executive Coaching: Here to Stay

Welcome to the seventh annual Sherpa Executive Coaching Survey. This extended web edition includes extra topics and commentary. This report is a free service of Sherpa Coaching, a team of authors and educators based in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
Our research is co-sponsored by:

  • The University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education in Athens, Georgia, USA
  • Miami’s Corporate & Community Institute, in West Chester, Ohio, USA
  • Tandy Center for Executive Leadership at Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas, USA

This year, as always, we have polled coaches, clients, HR and training professionals, purchasing agents, and a wider group of professionals with an interest in leadership development. Here are three themes that tell us executive coaching is here to stay.

Credibility:

Executive coaching has arrived. It occupies a place as a permanent fixture in the modern organization. The perceived value and the credibility of coaching are at all-time highs. For the first time, we asked coaches about value and credibility, and came up with some interesting answers.

Creativity:

One-to-one coaching has given rise to ‘coaching skills’ training for managers and executives, and a new surge in coaching-based programs for teams. This presents huge opportunities for curriculum designers and practitioners alike.

Calls for Coaching:

Requests for coaching are on the rise.  Three out of four see an increase in the demand for coaching in the coming year. This time around, HR and training professionals are just as optimistic as coaches themselves.

In this report, we also explore:

  • regulation and licensing for coaches.
  • secrets of the world’s greatest  coaches.
  • a revolution in communication technology.
