Coaching started many years in the U.S. and now is it has grown worldwide. Throughout the U.K.,Europe,Australia and Asia. There are coaches for all kinds of areas. Although still very new here in the U.K. it has now become the norm in our society. However Coaching is not a be all for solving our personal and professional problems or challenges as they are called. The Client has to act and do the exercises that the Coach sets for the client. The stress and presssures of modern day life can be overwhelming for an individual. So The Coach will initially give a free consultation in order to understand the clients problems. It might be a health or personal relationship or even career and business is currently grappling with. The Coach will find out exactly what is wrong and pinpoint the issue directly head-on. He or she will also ask  questions such as Why?,What?When?Why? and sometimes to get to the essence of issue. The Coach wants you to achieve your goal and overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your goal. A lot of coaches do one to one coaching from home either by telephone or by the internet(i.e. Skype). They may have got trained by one of the recognised coaching schools or academies and may have paid hundreds or thousands to train with the best. Some coaches are so successful that they become speakers,authors and celebrities.
Coaching has mushroomed to a multi-bilion dollar industry.Coaches are not like therapists that focus on the past. They are more interested in a persons future. The are fulltime coaches that come from all walks of life and have used Coaching for a career. Others have started it part time whilst working fulltime in their regular jobs. And have found it so fufilling and profitable that they eventually have gone fulltime.
