  • Personalized coaching, once limited to sports and business, is expanding into various aspects of life, including home organization and sobriety.
  • Clients seek coaches to address personal challenges like clutter and emotional regulation, finding practical tools and structures for lasting change.
  • The trend reflects a growing demand for tailored support in achieving a more organized and fulfilling life.

For Paola, a 30-year-old from Lausanne, Switzerland, hiring an organization coach transformed her apartment into a pristine, magazine-like space. The arrival of her baby motivated her and her partner to seek help, as clutter had become a source of frustration. "I made efforts, but I couldn't get rid of certain things," she explained. "My partner prefers a minimalist aesthetic, while abundance inspires my creativity." The coach provided simple, lasting organizational tools and a structure that streamlined their daily lives.

It's too beautiful

Laurent, in his fifties, turned to a sobriety coach after his teenage daughter commented on his drinking. The coach didn't demand abstinence but prompted self-reflection. "He didn't ask me to stop drinking, but asked the right questions: why that glass?" Laurent shared. He began with two alcohol-free days a week, realizing he often drank to manage his emotions. "Now, I can decide not to do it," he said.
