Question asked:
How directive/non‑directive is typically
the coaching approach taken in your
country (e.g. do coaches give much advice)?
There is an overall balance of directive and non-directive coaching approaches in the world.
The predominant coaching style is directive in 28 countries, non-directive in 24 countries.
In 110 countries, this is undecided.
Highly developed coaching industries with either approach exist and both are successful.
So there is no prevailing coaching style globally.
For example, coaching is predominantly non-directive in US and UK and directive in Ireland,
Australia and New Zealand at the same time. The Anglo-Saxon region is not homogeneous in
terms of coaching style and practice across the globe.
Iceland is the only country with a highly non-directive coaching approach – Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Honduras and Ecuador are the only countries with a highly directive coaching approach.
