Case Study: Discovering the Possibilities of a Coaching Career
THE CHALLENGE:
Carlos*, a 42-year-old sales executive in Spain, was at a crossroads in his career. While he loved mentoring his team, he felt unfulfilled in his role and yearned for something more meaningful. Coaching intrigued him, but he was hesitant. Could coaching be a sustainable career? Did he have what it took to succeed as a coach?
Carlos was held back by doubts:
- Skill Gaps: Was his natural ability to mentor enough, or did he need formal training?
- Financial Risks: Could coaching provide the stability he needed to support his family?
- Market Viability: Was there enough demand for coaching services to make it a viable career?
Carlos wanted clarity before committing to a new path.
