Technology, globalization, corporate mergers, and an increasing demand for quick solutions to complex problems makes it more likely that executives will be seeking solutions and looking for outside help. There is a great opportunity for therapists and psychologists to move into the executive coaching field.<\/p>\n<p>However, before therapists take the leap into executive coaching, they must first assess their desire and passion for working in the business world. If they don\u2019t have a particular interest in business, executive coaching is probably not the right coaching career. There is always life coaching, where the focus is on the individual similar to working as a therapist or a psychologist. To be an executive coach, one must have a passion for and understanding of business and organizations.<\/p>\n<p>But, for anyone considering the executive coaching field, from therapists to other coaches, to someone just contemplating a coaching career, <i>The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Psychology of Executive Coaching<\/strong><\/span>: Theory and Application<\/i>, by Bruce Peltier, is a must read!<\/p>\n<p>By the way\u2026 you\u2019re invited to claim your FREE step-by-step \u201cLife Coach Salary Secrets\u201d video toolkit.
