Chapter 1: Introduction to International Training and Coaching

The Evolution of Training and Coaching

The evolution of training and coaching has been a fascinating journey spanning several decades. This journey has seen these fields rise from relative obscurity to becoming an integral part of organizations, education, and personal development globally. To fully appreciate the state of training and coaching today, we must first understand the significant milestones that have led to their current forms.

As we traverse back in time, we see that the concept of coaching originated from the sporting world, where the coach's role was to train, guide, and motivate athletes.

As the industry matured, the different branches of coaching started to take shape, including life coaching, executive coaching, health coaching, and career coaching, each
