In a downturn, what do Executive Coaches do?


In a rather remarkable piece in yesterday’s Telegraph, clearly taken straight from a PR person’s outpouring, the Chief Executive of Penna tries touting for investors in his firm by claiming that in good times, a coach coaches, whereas in bad times, they become outplacement consultants.

But there’s two serious questions that would be worth us all asking ourselves here. If and when this much bandied ‘downturn’ does happen:

  • what will happen to the executive coaching and leadership development market, and…
  • what will those of us who are practitioners within it find to do?
  • Best wishes
