China Coaching is still rather undeveloped. Most of the coaches in China are still in the surviving stage.

They spend time to educate the clients, the government and society. There is generally a lack
of professional coaching associations.
However, there are already the Hong Kong International Coaching Community (HKICC), three ICF
Chapters as well as five IAC Chapters. Also, a “China Coach Association” (CCA) had been crea-
ted in China in between by a privately owned company, but it doesn’t exist any more.
Regarding the HKICC, it was established in Hong Kong in 2002 and developed to become one
of the largest coaching associations in Asia (over 150 members so far). It has “coaching stan-
dards” which are rather basic as of now, but is in the process of developing into a proper coach-
ing body.
Supra-regional, nation-wide coaching associations bringing together coaches from different re-
gions of China more in one learning network/community are still missing, but may be a next step
to emerge.
Chinese Taipeh/Taiwan
(under the de facto control of the ROC government, claimed in whole by the PRC)
In the Taiwanese coaching market, coaching is in the introduction phase. There are around
50 - 100 coaches. An ICF Chapter Taiwan exists [as well as an IAC Chapter Taiwan]. Many of
the coaches do not classify between business and life coaching that clearly.
Georgia Business coaching has not yet visibly developed.
India Coaching has just started in India and is still in its infancy. However, there are also strong
ambitions and efforts to make coaching grow further and become more professionalized. For
example, while, at present, in India there may only be five certified ICF accredited coaches as
of now, the member figures and number of ICF Chapters are growing steadily.
[There are 8 ICF Chapters.]
Indonesia We don’t have any professional coaching body yet. Coaching is still a new profession and needs

to reach the community and socialize more. [A local IAC Jakarta Chapter already exists.]
[There is an Israeli Coaching Society and an ICF Chapter Israel.]
Japan Professional coaching bodies, accreditation and codes of ethics are generally at a high level
of development. The Japan Coach Association (JCA) - providing big conferences once a year
with more than 300 coaches signing up – as well as two ICF Chapters in Japan and Tokyo are
such examples.
However, while 1000s have been trained in coaching (around 3000 students already went
through the ICF credentialed coach training program at Coach21) and while the number is un-
known how many people exactly call themselves “coach” in Japan, only about 100 are also
certified/accredited (80 by ICF).
[The number of 2000 business coaches given in question b is a rough estimate of the operating business coaches in Japan,
be they accredited or not or a member of an association or not.]
Jordan Business coaching has not yet visibly developed.
Kazakhstan Coaching is a new trend in our market, but there is no organisation/association in our country
yet, that would gather statistical data on it. The Coaching Center Global were the first who
“brought” coaching into Kazakhstan, as an ICF accredited program. The first introduction of
coaching started in 2005. We only have 5 classes of graduates, and not all of them use coach-
