The percentage of CEOs who have a coach can vary depending on the source and methodology of the study. While exact figures are not available, several surveys and studies suggest that a significant percentage of CEOs have worked with a coach at some point in their careers.

For example, a survey by Stanford University found that approximately two-thirds of CEOs and almost half of senior executives had worked with a coach. Similarly, a study by the Center for Leadership Development and Research at Stanford Graduate School of Business found that nearly 50% of CEOs surveyed had worked with an executive coach.

While these studies provide valuable insights into the prevalence of coaching among CEOs, the actual percentage may vary based on factors such as industry, company size, and individual preferences. Overall, executive coaching is widely recognized as a valuable tool for leadership development, and many CEOs see the value in working with a coach to enhance their effectiveness and achieve their professional goals.
