The Smart School

It’s no secret that the coaching industry is growing. And it is growing for a good reason: coaching gets results.

That’s why a majority of companies in the UK now use coaching at some level to develop their staff and improve leadership.

As a coach, there is an expanding market for your services and a range of ways in which you can practise.  Many coaches become self-employed building a private practice either for their sole income or to supplement their income.  Other coaches, work within an organisation either as full time coaches or as part of their work developing or managing staff.

Here are just some of the ways you can coach:

• Life Coach/Personal Coach: Working with your private clients on any apsect of an their private life
• Niche Coach:  Again, with a private practice but specialising in a particular field such as “finance coach” or “parenting coach”
• Small Business Coach: Working with entrepreneurs and business owners to facilitate business success, profitability through purposeful action and clarity of aims and outcomes.
• Corporate Coach: Working with businesses to achieve performance or staffing outcomes ranging from sales performance, succession management, change management or team coaching. 
• Executive Coach: Working with senior managers and executives on personal performance and leadership.  This will often focus on the person’s mental attributes and state rather than just tasks
• Group Coach/Team Coach: You may be a corporate or personal coach but the skill of taking coaching from one-to-one to one-to-many is an art in itself and lends a new way to coach.

There are, then, many ways to build a successful career or business as a coach.  The industry and opportunities are growing.
