Crisis in the Boardroom: Not Enough Coaches

by A. Drayton Boylston, Executive Coach

As I talk with coaches from all over the world, the most consistent comment I hear is, "Where can I find great clients for my practice."

Crisis Management
What does your practice look like? Do you have high paying executive clients? Do you wish you had? Do you wonder why you don't?

Most every coach I know wants executives as clients and for good reason:

Executives pay well ($350-1000+ an hour- yes, that much!)
Executive coaching impacts many lives (the trickle-down factor)
Executive coaching engagements last longer (average 14 months)

What's Not to Like?
According to the U.S. Department of Labor there are over 30 million upper managers and executives in the United States alone. 30 million! Do you think there are enough clients out there to fill up all of our coaching practices?

I hear many self-imposed hurdles from coaches. "I don't have business experience, I don't speak their language, I don't have the same schooling they do," and so on.

Confidence is High
What it boils down to is confidence. If you have confidence in the work you do and the positive impact you have on lives, then you can coach executives. They are no different than your other clients except for the fact that they pay better and last longer.

Carpe diem!
