About This Video
Interview with Dorothée Oung, National Director of Life in Balance Careers, is the brand's senior-leadership recruitment pitch for prospective coaching partners. Oung joined the brand in 2019 and now positions Life in Balance Careers as a global community of over 900 coaches working across multiple territories, with the network mission set at making a positive impact on one million people over the coming year. The asset works as both a credentialing piece for the brand and a personal invitation to the kind of professional Oung is recruiting onto the team. The industry sizing Oung puts on the record gives prospective coaches the market context. The personal development industry was valued at $38.28 billion in 2019 and growing 5.1% — a growth-stage category driven by people and companies increasingly recognising that developing soft skills is the most direct route to outcomes both at the corporate level and at the individual level. Oung connects that demand back to the ikigai concept (the Japanese framework of finding purpose at the intersection of passion, mission, vocation, and profession) — which is the lens Life in Balance Careers uses to define the candidates the brand wants on the team. The brand is actively recruiting public speakers, performing coaches, practitioners, facilitators, and trainers — anyone who visualises themselves empowering people as a highly skilled, well-trained professional. Oung calls out that Life in Balance Careers is building the European team and the broader EMEA team out, aiming for 50 powerful performing coaches across the region. The expanded coaching network supports both individual clients on personal development and corporate clients trying to meet organisational goals, plus the trainer-developer layer that mentors newer coaches as they come on board. For a prospective coach evaluating the brand against other personal development franchise opportunities, this Director's-level introduction is the credibility plus invitation combo that opens the door to a deeper conversation with the European and EMEA recruitment team.
