Coaching across the Globe

This book gives a useful overview of the situation of coaching across the globe by presenting the benchmark results of the Bresser Consulting Global Coaching Survey and giving a supplementary update highlighting the latest coaching developments to 2013. The Global Coaching Survey covered 162 countries and, for the first time, systematically examined the situation and development of coaching in the world overall, in each continent, region and country. It set new standards in the field and is a benchmark since. In 2010, the renowned international magazine 'Coaching at Work' included the Bresser Consulting Global Coaching Survey in the list of main achievements of the coaching industry. Several thousand companies and individuals have downloaded the survey results from Bresser Consulting and the high interest in the findings is unchanging. Besides the results' high practical relevance and applicability, the research project has also triggered lots of further local and regional research initiatives and has served as a role model and template for others' global research since. Interestingly, the basic findings of the Global Coaching Survey, while conducted in 2009, are still valid today, when compared with all subsequent research into this topic. For all these reasons, the publication of the benchmark results of the Global Coaching Survey in paperback and e-book form in the regular book trade was overdue, brought up to date with a supplementary chapter highlighting the latest developments to 2013.
