Dear Coach Pony: What's the Future of Life Coaching?

Today we are revisiting an episode from last year all about the
future of life coaching and Bobbi and I have some additional
thoughts to share that have come up for us in the year since this
panel episode was recorded.


This season on the Coach Pony Podcast, dating coach Bobbi Palmer,
of Date Like a Grownup and I are here to help by answering your
burning questions about your coaching business, so you can get
more clients and get paid to coach! Get the inside scoop from
coaches who have built 6 and 7 figure programs in a variety of
niches. We have a LOT to say.  


As many people are worried about layoffs and an economic downturn
or recession, it might seem like the future of life coaching
isn’t so bright, because who’s going to pay for life coaching in
a recession? But trust us, that is not the case. The truth is,
people often invest more in education and in themselves in a
downturn. 


And not only will individuals be looking for support and
education as they consider career and life changes in the short
term, but long term, we predict that this multi-billion dollar
industry will keep going strong. And that’s what we’re talking
about with our panelists.


Our panel is: Sherri Gerek from IPEC, the Institute of
Professional Excellence in Coaching, Stephanie Griffin from 
the Life Coach School, and Jennifer Voss of the Martha Beck
Wayfinder Life Coach Training Program. 


Between them, these three schools have graduated tens of
thousands of amazing coaches. 


Together, we’re taking a closer look at trends, profitable
niches, whether there really is space for new coaches, and of
course, we’ll pull out our crystal balls and make some
predictions for the future.


Listen to the full episode to hear about:


Why you shouldn’t be worried about getting into coaching in a
downturn

Where the market is heading, and key reasons there is room
for growth

Niches and business models that continue to grow and why

Our predictions for the next ten years in the coaching
industry 

Why there is definitely still room for you in the coaching
industry (it’s not oversaturated, we promise!)
