Having a coach was once only for sports people requiring remedial assistance or for executives to polish up their people skills. Now it has become an invaluable tool for honing career skills, growing individual potential, or boosting team effectiveness in the workplace.

Around the world, coaching has grown exponentially. Research by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) estimates approximately 47, 500 coaches globally, representing a 13,200 percent growth over just 10 years. A similar trend is noted in Kenya and the ICF Kenya chapter now has a registration of over 120 active, certified coaches.
