New trends in the field of coaching

Our position as "direct witnesses" about what happens in that market allows us to affirm that this study was not mistaken and that, indeed, the interest in coaching and its demand have continued to grow in 2021. Something that, looking at the data of the last months, this will continue to be the case during 2022 and, without fear of being wrong, in the following years.

This can be due to different factors or reasons, but the 3 reasons that are outlined as the main ones, would be the following.

1. Coaching as a weapon against uncertainty

The coronavirus pandemic has brought a wave of uncertainty in society not known in recent decades. Fluctuations in the progress of the disease, changes in vaccination guidelines, virus variants... Together with the collateral damage that all this brings at a social and economic level, they make them live continuous moments of not knowing what is going to happen that increase insecurity about the future more righ now.

In this field there are many people who are demotivated and lost. Not seeing clearly even the nearest future makes them stop being clear about the focus in their life, where they want to go, what to do or how to continue.

And this is where coaching stands out as one of the great hopes of the coming year (and those to come), since it allows individuals not only to find again the path to which to redirect the steps of their life, but, most importantly here, it makes the people develop their internal tools and their potential so that, among other things, they can efficiently solve other situations of uncertainty that will surely arise throughout his life.

2. The consolidation of the change in the type of leadership

The leader, understood as a superior being who commands and orders and whom others "follow" more out of fear than because he knows how to guide them, has no place at this point in the 21st century. If we take into account the current uncertainty that we mentioned in the previous point, it is necessary for leaders to become authentic guides who know how to guide teams towards the desired objectives attending and understanding their needs more than their own.

This reality is what will make the demand for coaches in organizations, companies and companies continue to increase in 2022. institutions of all kinds: the people in charge of them really want to "learn" to lead, and not just to 'send'. In times of restlessness and demotivation, successful teams will be those with a leader who know both emotional intelligence, NLP and conflict resolution as well as facts and goals economic.

3. New jobs for a new society

Increased demand for coaches both at the corporate and personal level will result in a necessary increase in the number of people trained to practice as professional coaches. In other words, 2022 and the years that will follow can be seen as the years where coaching is definitely established as one of the best career opportunities.

Here it is convenient to emphasize that, although from what we have mentioned in the previous paragraph, the number of people trained in coaching because more coaches are needed, there is something deeper in this formula that transcends the simple law of supply and supply. demand.

The new paradigm of society that is being imposed not only by the coronavirus crisis, but also by the increase in social and ecological awareness, along with a greater understanding how the emotional plane of people is key in the future of their lives, has made those people more aware of it are feeling the need to train in coaching both to give a 180º turn to their professional career and dedicate themselves to accompanying people and companies in this paradigm shift, as well as to transform themselves and be more efficient in the face of challenges that may arise.
