ActionCOACH marks 30 years of business coaching success: A milestone that matters for business owners
In 2023, ActionCOACH celebrated a landmark achievement, 30 years of transforming businesses worldwide. For business owners exploring coaching for the first time, this milestone isn't just symbolic. It represents three decades of refined systems, real-world success stories, and proven strategies that continue to help businesses scale sustainably.
Why 30 years of business knowledge matters when choosing a business coach
With coaching businesses growing rapidly, experience matters more than ever. ActionCOACH’s three decades in the industry give business owners something newer firms simply can’t offer: a long history of what actually works in the real world.
1. Proven business growth frameworks
In 30 years, ActionCOACH has tested, refined, and perfected coaching models across thousands of companies. These frameworks help businesses:
-
Increase profitability
-
Develop empowered, accountable teams
-
Build systems that remove owner dependency
-
Create sustainable growth, not temporary spikes
This long-term track record gives entrepreneurs confidence that the strategies they learn aren’t experimental, they’re battle-tested.
2. Global expertise backed by local support
With over 1,100 coaches across more than 80 countries, ActionCOACH combines global insights with the grounded understanding of local markets. Business owners get:
-
A dedicated local coach
-
Access to international best practices
-
Insights from cross-industry experience
This global network means every business owner benefits from collective intelligence, not the perspective of just one coach.
3. A legacy of transformational results
Over three decades, ActionCOACH has helped companies of all sizes from startups to multi-million-pound firms achieve measurable improvements in growth, systems, and leadership.
Business owners consistently report:
-
More time freedom
-
Reduced stress
-
Higher-performing teams
-
Stronger strategic thinking
-
Better financial clarity
For many, coaching becomes the turning point that transforms the business into a scalable asset rather than a demanding job.
4. Leadership with a Clear Mission
Founded by Brad Sugars in 1993, ActionCOACH is driven by a mission of "world abundance through business re-education." That philosophy hasn’t changed in 30 years and it continues to inspire business owners to create profitable companies that also improve lives.
Celebrating 30 years at the global conference
The anniversary celebration took place at the ActionCOACH Global Conference in Phuket, Thailand, where franchise partners and their families gathered to commemorate the company’s ongoing impact. Awards recognised standout coaches and regions, including multiple wins for ActionCOACH UK, highlighting the strength and quality of coaching available to British business owners.
