The 3 reasons why Coaching will continue to gain importance in 2022
These are the reasons why in the coming months coaching will gain prominence.
The latest Global Coaching Survey conducted by ICF in 2020 showed that since 2016 the trend in the coaching industry had been on a a progressive increaseDespite the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, this upward trend will continue in the following years.
New trends in coaching
Our position as "direct witnesses" of what is happening in this market allows us to affirm that this study was not wrong and that, indeed, the interest in coaching and its demand have continued to grow in 2021. Something that, observing the data of the last few months, will continue to be so during 2022 and, without fear of contradiction, in the following years..
This may be due to different factors or reasons, but the 3 reasons that emerge 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 patterns, virus variants? together with the collateral damage that all this brings at a social and economic level, mean that there are continuous moments of not knowing what is going to happen, increasing insecurity in the immediate future.
In this area, many people are unmotivated and lost.. Not being able to see clearly even the nearest future means that they no longer have a clear focus in their life, where they want to go, what to do or how to continue.
And this is where coaching emerges as one of the great hopes of the coming year (and those to come), as it enables individuals not only to (and those to come), since it allows individuals not only to find the way to redirect the steps of their lives, but, most importantly, it allows them to 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 their lives.
2. Consolidating 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 again take into account the current uncertainty we mentioned in the previous point, it is necessary for leaders to become true guides who know how to guide teams towards the desired objectives, attending to and understanding their needs more than their own. who know how to guide teams towards the desired objectives by meeting and understanding their needs rather than their own..
This reality is what will make the demand for coaches in organizations, companies and institutions of all kinds continue to increase in 2022: the people in charge of them really want to "learn" to lead, and not just to "command". In times of unrest and demotivation, successful teams will be those with a leader who knows as much about emotional intelligence, NLP and conflict resolution as they do about data and economic objectives.
New jobs for a new society
The increase in demand for coaches at both the corporate and personal levels will result in a necessary increase in the number of people trained as professional coaches. increase in the number of people trained as professional coaches.. In other words, 2022 and the years that will follow can be seen as the years when coaching will definitively establish itself as one of the best professional opportunities.
Here it should be noted that, although the number of people trained in coaching will grow because more coaches are needed, there is something deeper in this formula that transcends the simple law of supply and demand.
The new paradigm of society that is being imposed not only by the crisis of the coronavirus, but by the increase of social and ecological awareness, along with a greater understanding of how the emotional level of people is key in the evolution of their lives, has made those people more aware of it feel the need to be trained in coaching, both to make a 180º turn in their professional career and dedicate themselves to accompany people and companies in this paradigm shift, as well as to transform themselves. both to make a 180º turn in their professional careers and dedicate themselves to accompanying people and companies in this paradigm shift, and to transform themselves and become more efficient in the face of the challenges they face. and be more efficient in the face of the challenges that may arise.
