In my line of work as the CEO of a learning platform company, I come across and engage with a variety of business coaches. And as an entrepreneur myself — like many coaches — I recognize the many qualities they need for success: good communication skills, emotional intelligence, the ability to give (and receive) feedback effectively, and a nose for sniffing out what the market needs — and pairing that with their own expertise, to name a few.
Of course, flexibility and adaptability are also key. Like many other businesses, the coaching industry has been rocked by change over the last two-and-a-half years. Nearly four in 10 coaches have made changes to their service offerings in response to the pandemic, according to the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
