Turn Up Your Support

There was a time when executives and employees on the verge of burnout turned to therapy. Now many of them turn to coaches.

In 2013, American companies spent more than $1 billion on executive coaching. More than 30 universities have added coaching programs to their curriculums.

On The Daily Circuit, we discuss what business and life coaches do. How are they changing the way leaders manage? 

"While therapy mostly focuses on the past, coaching helps us grow into who we want to become by using our aspirations and key strengths, encouraging habit changes in our daily lives, committing us to action and focusing on the future," wrote Santhosh Babu 

. "Coaching is about an individual expanding his or her awareness and taking action for positive change."
