This document summarizes key findings from a global study of over 2,000 coaching clients conducted by the International Coach Federation. The study aimed to understand who coaching clients are, why they seek coaching, how they select coaches, their perceptions of coaching, and the benefits and ROI of coaching. The top reasons clients sought coaching were for self-esteem/confidence and work-life balance. Most clients found their coach through personal referrals and selected their first coach without interviewing others. Clients highly valued coaches' confidence, rapport building skills, and credentials when selecting one. Overall, clients reported improvements in areas like relationships and performance from their coaching.
