Is life experience of coaches important ?

When I took my first coaching session to deal with a very complex family problem and later took my first coaching training several years ago just for self-development purposes, I was not aware that I would one day decide to make it my profession. I was fascinated by the very practical and effective problem-solving methodologies of coaching, which I gradually integrated into the different areas of my life. My personal development had a transformation effect on my family life as well as my success as a manager of a company, leader of an international NGO and lecturer at the university.
