Who are Becoming Clients?
The following is an excerpt from the CoachStart Manual.
Clients are generally people:
- Wanting to change something in their life
- Wanting more of something
- Tolerating too much
- Wanting to switch careers
- Wanting to improve their career
- Looking for a bigger goal
- Desiring to achieve something faster
- Who are bored
- Who feel something is missing
- Who realize they can be much more successful with outside input.
They include:
- Executives
- Managers
- CEOs
- Housewives
- Professionals
- Creative people
- Entrepreneurs
- Small Business Owners
Below are some solid statistics from a past ICF client survey. While the data is several years old, the general characteristics are still relevant today, although we might expect a trend towards more lower-income and non-professional clients embracing coaching:
- 65 of the respondents were male (31%), and 145 were female (69%).
- Average age was 45 years, with respondents being within the age range of 24-67 years of age.
- Most were employed as professionals.
- Education gained: 82% had gained degrees, with one third gaining a Masters degree or higher.
