In a 2006 article, Executive Coaching: A Team-based Approach, consultants from Conequity Resources estimated that more than 50,000 individuals identify themselves as executive coaches. In addition, the Harvard Business Review reported that companies and individuals would spend approximately $1 billion dollar in 2007 for executive coaching services.
Not surprisingly coaching is HOT! Today, instead of being perceived as a weakness, many companies and organizations heavily invest in coaching services for a wider-range of supervisors, managers, and rising star performers. But along with this increased demand, many coaches encounter a host of challenging situations.
