History
WABC, formerly the National Association of Business Coaches (NABC), began as a professional association for business coaches. It has enjoyed a steady growth in membership since 1997. As one of few coaching associations in the world at the time of its inception, WABC carved out a unique, and virtually untapped, business coaching niche. It is the first international association dedicated solely to serving the business coaching industry.

Since WABC's beginnings, the business coaching industry has come to be one of the fastest growing professional services in North America and beyond. The corresponding worldwide proliferation of training and certification programs in executive, corporate and business coaching created the ideal conditions for WABC to further leverage its market position as "the association of choice" for both the business-focused coach and the business market.
