\"coaching<\/a>In the blog post Monday I mentioned the move toward self or government regulation of the coaching industry.\u00a0 Will it happen?\u00a0 It is only a question of time.\u00a0 A multitude of professions have gone through a similar process \u2013 some are now successfully self regulated and others are government regulated.<\/p>\n

Because of the attention the coaching profession receives, both good and bad, now is the time when engagement of coaching<\/a> professionals has the greatest opportunity to impact the outcome of either self or government regulation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The business and corporate worlds focus on ROI, Return on Investment.\u00a0 Now a multitude of studies provide data that the ROI for coaching is amazing — the most commonly cited statistic is 570% ROI from Manchester Inc.\u00a0 This is incredibly significant in the corporate and business worlds.\u00a0 At the same time, some coaching programs are really mentoring programs and the results are limited.\u00a0 Life and career coaches are enhancing individual successes.\u00a0 On the other hand, there have been several instances where a coach (often well-intentioned and simply unaware) is practicing therapy or counseling without a license, then gets sued \u2013 and this adds to the push for regulation.\u00a0 How coaches and coaching are perceived impacts our ability to self-regulate.<\/p>\n

Which is better for the coaching industry and the people it serves, self-regulation or government regulation?\u00a0 I am an advocate for successful self-regulation of coaching through the ICF so that coaching<\/a> remains true to it\u2019s nature and continues to benefit to the people served at a high level.<\/p>\n
