The ICF developed the client study as a means to gather reliable data from coaching clients and the results they achieved from their coaching partnerships. The findings alone support the coaching profession repeatedly through such statements as “98.9 percent of respondents in the ICF Global Coaching Client Study were satisfied with their coaching experience,” (82.7 percent were very satisfied and 16.2 percent were somewhat satisfied).
The Executive Summary of the ICF Global Coaching Client Study is available at no charge to ICF members (non-member price: $15 USD). And data sheets containing some of the regional and country specific data from the study are available at no charge to ICF members. Please note that you will need to be logged into Coachfederation.org to access either download.
