Happy International Coaching Week! What are you doing to celebrate this annual event? What special thing can you do to honor your clients?

ICF (International Coach Federation) is releasing its global survey results this week. Here a few facts to whet your appetite:

• The approximate annual worldwide revenue produced by coaching is $1.5 billion (USD).
• The average coach is 46-55 years old, has coached for 5-10 years, and 53 percent of coaches have acquired an advanced level of education (i.e., Master’s Degree or Ph.D).
• Coaches earn an average of $50,510 (USD) per year.
• Coaching clients tend to be 56 percent female/44 percent male, and between 38 and 45 years of age.

More to come about this survey once the whole document is released. For now, I’m interested in your reaction to the above information. Your comments are welcome here.
