The Coaching Tools Company.com Celebrates 10 Years Serving The Coaching Industry

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Coaching Tools Company was established to lighten the challenge of building a coaching business, providing coaches with instantly downloadable and brandable coaching tools, forms and exercises. Over the past ten years, The Coaching Tools Company has established itself as a leader in the field, and is now in its fifth year as an official 'Business Solutions Provider' to the ICF (International Coaching Federation), the world's largest coach credentialing and coach training certifying organization.

The coaching industry has grown enormously over the last 10 years. At the International Coaching Federation (ICF), membership has nearly doubled from 15,949 members in 2009 to 34,345* in February 2019. And The Coaching Tools Company has grown with it, growing to over 43,000 weekly newsletter subscribers in March 2019. Popular with new and experienced coaches alike, it now takes 4 team members to run The Coaching Tools Company with one more team member expected to join this year.

When founder and CEO Emma-Louise Elsey started The Coaching Tools Company in 2009 from her home she had no idea she'd be a market leader within a decade. "I started out selling the tools I developed to use with my clients. Coaches loved them, so I began selling them online. Over time, and by listening closely to our customers, we have become a world leader in coaching tools - providing over 100 coach-specific resources!" says Elsey.

Over the years our commitment to supporting coaches in all aspects of their business means that we have become a trusted source for the many questions and challenges coaches have. In fact, Emma-Louise was invited by the ICF to co-lead their brand new "Life Vision and Enhancement" Community of Practice, now in its third year. Emma-Louise has also been interviewed by John Mattone (leadership coach and former coach to Steve Jobs) about coaching tools and her thoughts on the future of the coaching industry. And in 2018, Emma-Louise presented to The NASA Coaching Program (National Aeronautics and Space Administration).

The Coaching Tools Company keeps innovating in their quest to help coaches. In 2016 they introduced a done-for-you 3 Month Coaching Program: Renew You, Love Your Life, complete with all the tools and marketing materials needed for a 13 week coaching engagement. And in 2018, with modern day business marketing focusing heavily on social media, they introduced a Complete Year of Brandable Social Media Graphics to help coaches navigate the complexities of social media marketing. Coaches can now save time and concentrate on building relationships by using ready-to-go packages of quotes, prompts and infographics neatly organized by month, week and day on coach-specific topics.

With approaching 500 articles geared specifically towards coaches, some of the biggest names in the industry now write for The Coaching Tools Company blog including group coaching expert Jennifer Britton and industry pioneer and Master Coach Fran Fisher. The guest authors, close-knit team, customers, fans and partners have all led to The Coaching Tools Company becoming a truly global company working with coaches in 175 countries - all from a rural island in the Pacific Northwest.

The Coaching Tools Company.com offers over 100 brandable coaching tools, forms, templates, exercises and social media graphic products including over 30 completely free coaching tools and resources to help coaches get started. The ready-to-use coaching tools also come in handy toolkits like our two biggest sellers the Welcome Pack Templates Toolkit and Coaching Tools Megapack. In addition, there are Small Business Coaching Tools, Self-Discovery, Career, Productivity and Time Management Tools, Life Balance and Goal-Setting Tools to help clients with goals or issues.
