the U.S.
On your TLC Home page, click on “Additional Library
Resources” to access the IBISWorld Industry Research tool.
Click on “IBISWorld.”
Search “Business Coaching in the U.S.”
Click individually on the topics across the tan-colored
ribbon above the “IBISWORLD Industry Report 61143” headline
Respond to the following:
What does this industry offer to private-sector employers
who want to develop the talents of their employees?
Discuss the future of the industry and its major strengths,
challenges, and competitors.
As an HR Manager in _______________(please select a type of
business), what might the business coaching industry provide for your business?
Select two services you think are best to utilize for the organization and
explain why they were chosen.
The Discussion Forum is a graded activity. Your entries will
be reviewed for their relevance and insight into the issue(s). At a minimum,
you should respond at least three times in each module—addressing the
questions, and then responding to at least two of your classmates’ posts. Bring
in information from IBISWorld to strengthen your responses. Respond in a timely
manner. (Posts that are entered after the module’s due date are not timely, and
the opportunity for timeliness points might be lost.)
Reminder: In the Module 4 discussion forum there is another
graded activity—the Summary and Reflection, that is worth an additional 20
points. For that last assignment you need to answer the reflective questions.
(No responses to your classmates’ posts are needed in the Summary and
Reflection section.)
