Europe coaching trends
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
A colleague forwarded a link to this short article on the latest trends in coaching emerging from Europe. Interesting to note that coaching over the phone is growing in popularity and that coaching is seen to ensure sustainability of training, and hence being integrated into seminars.
New Coaching Trends - by Ralf Borlinghaus of Bora Consulting
On March 13 2009 I was invited to join the first Coaching Day of Deutsche Bahn AG in Berlin. About 30 internal Management Developers and external coaches met in order to get to know each other and to share experiences. As two main topics two impulse lectures were held about New Coaching Trends in general and TeleCoaching as Paradigm Shift in particular - the latter provided by BORA.Later on these inputs were discussed and amended in a workshop under the label Coaching 2.0. The defined theses seem to be so interesting and worth to be summarized and reported to you:
- Management and administration of coaching-services will be more and more outsourced to globally operating external service provider.
- Clients' professional expectations in terms of education and experience of employed coaches will increase.
- Coaching will be more and more regarded as personal incentive to support once personal development and success instead of being a secret operation.
- Global operating networks will have clear competitive advantage compared to single operating coaches.
- In a flexible and decentralized working environment the phone is going to get the status of main coaching infrastructure.
- The confusing and unstructured coaching market will be consolidated. To enter the market will be more difficult for new coaches.
- Seminars and Coaching will be connected to new training formats. Integration of coaching sessions in seminars ensures sustainability.
- Due to permanent internal change processes there will be an increased need for team coaching.
- Coaching will become an area of investment even in times of crises in order to strengthen leaders' coping capabilities.
- In order to secure or to improve their performance level more and more employees will be ready to buy coaching services with private money in the future.
