Peer Resources,  February 2008,   www.peer.ca  . . . Sherpa Results Dazzle This annual survey is the most reliable and method-sound in the coaching industry. Conducted for the third year by Sherpa Coaching, an executive coach training and certification organization, this year's survey was sponsored by the Tandy Center for Executive Leadership at Texas Christian University (Fort Worth, Texas).  Over 1200 participants, mostly executive coaches and HR professionals from the U.S., Canada and 35 other countries completed the survey.  Survey results answer key questions such as:  (1) What is executive coaching and what background and training is necessary to gain respect?  (2) Who is doing the coaching?  (3) Who gets a coach?  (4) What are the key reasons for using a coach?  (5) How are services delivered?  (6) How do coaches get their training?  (7) How much does coaching cost?  (8) What is the credibility of coaching? and  (9) Is coaching worth the money?  In addition to being a leader in providing data about trends and issues in executive coaching, Sherpa has also made its  results freely available.
