Context in Established Companies

The concept of coaching businesspeople is well established in established companies.

In November 2004 the Harvard Business Review stated “Annual spending on business coaching in the United States is estimated at $1 billion.”  Then Business Coaching states that in 2007, MarketData Report stated that a “recent study estimates that 40,000 people in the U.S. work as business or life coaches, and the $2.4 billion business coaching market is growing at about 18% per year.”  Source: http://www.businesscoaching.com/business-coaching-statistics/ accessed on December 11, 2014.

Business Coaching also provides these statistics at www.businesscoaching.com/business-coaching-statistics/ as accessed on December 11, 2014:
