Coaches are beacons to help us navigate an increasingly complex world.

The global coaching industry parallels the rising trend of online social interaction, entrepreneurship, and the endless search for depth and meaning in life. Never before has there been such a mass injection of professionals poised to help this new generation.

Coaching, first and foremost–is an industry that is booming. In the last ten years the coaching industry has exploded. Membership of the International Coach Federation has more than tripled. A report by the market research firm IBISWorld at the end of 2014 said coaching is a $1 billion industry in the U.S. alone.

At a time when generations of people and new-age entrepreneurs in the workforce tie themselves to freedom and view going out on their own as a rite of passage to a fulfilling life, business, wellness, consciousness, spiritual, leadership, performance, fitness, and many other types of coaches are becoming more relevant, and necessary, than ever.

Millennials are the nation's largest living generation, ages 18-34 in 2015, now at 75.4 million. Which means the global population is poised to reshape the economy. Their unique experiences and ways of thinking and living will change the ways we do business for decades to come.

• 46% of the Millennial generation are interested in starting a business.
• 40% believe they are capable having a global impact for change in some way.
• 7.7 is the avg. number of companies started each versus three to four for previous generations.

Not everyone is an entrepreneur, and not everyone should be an entrepreneur. But more and more people are striving for a new lifestyle than ever before, and the new generations are being nurtured to accept, understand and create a life filled with leisure, freedom and endless possibilities. This is far from easy.

And it’s not just entrepreneurs who are hiring coaches. The corporate sector is also fueling the industry’s growth. It uses coaches to develop both executives and promising up-and-comers.

Coaching can be a viable profession because barriers to entry are low and anyone can be a mentor and provide value to another business or person. This theme is a moral, ethical and spiritual-driven compass for coaches to navigate today's world of endless endeavors.
