Abstract: Abstract I have not yet met a child who has declared ‘when I grow up I want to be an executive coach’. Most people entering the discipline of executive coaching (or what has been termed in this book, ‘development coaching’) are commencing on a second or third career and will either have had exposure to one of the allied disciplines (psychology and so on) mentioned throughout this book or will be from the business world itself, intent on sharing their wisdom and experience. That it is a second or third career for most people is perhaps the single greatest shaping force on the current state of the provision of training and development activities. Most of these people have gone through extensive training in the past and do not, rightly or wrongly, feel the need for more. Hence the current reality is that there is not very much available for people to help them to become coaches that is formal and organised.
