What is a personal development coach?
A personal development coach is someone who helps you or an organization through a process of exploring, learning, and action. The coach will help you to identify all aspects of yourself- business, personal, and your relationships with yourself and others. All of these areas together contribute to your personal growth and development.
Either an individual may hire a coach for personal development coaching session one-to-one, or quite often an organization chooses to work with a personal development coach to support their employees, managers, and workplace culture. When hired, the coach serves the role of active listener, and strategic thinking partner in devising an inspired plan of action with inspiration and accountability rounding out the duties.

Why is personal development coaching in such high demand right now?
In an ever speeding world of change, the pace of development increases all the time. People often get stuck on how they see themselves in the changing world, how they feel about themselves, and their situation in work and life, and also with how they relate to others.
For many individuals that means learning to unlearn the unconscious programming they received as children and young adults.
And for organizations, this typically is steered to teaching people how to learn, so that teams can work cohesively and efficiently.
