Women own an estimated 10 million businesses and as this number continues to grow, the demand for female business coaches is also increasing.
The Growth Coach, one of the world’s fastest-growing business coaching franchises with a presence in more than 150 markets, notes a drastic increase in the number of women entering the business coaching profession. The company states that the percentage of women purchasing The Growth Coach franchise has increased from 13 percent of all new owners in 2009 to 44 percent in 2010.
“The Growth Coach mission, flexible lifestyle and unique coaching process have been increasingly attractive to women,” said Daniel Murphy, founder and president of The Growth Coach, noting that women tend to be instinctively nurturing and love to help others. “While initially drawn to life coaching in the early 2000s, many women have recently discovered that business coaching can be a more lucrative field while still being very fulfilling.”
