Ed Miliband, the ex-leader of the Labour party in the U.K. (His party was
defeated last Thursday and he resigned subsequently) reportedly employed coaches to have a total make-over to improve his chance of winning voters. According to the article at the Economist (Issue 02-May-2015) titled “The meaning of Mr. Miliband”, it says “The Labour leader has reportedly used the services of 10,000-a-day GBP ($15,400) debate coach.”
Even though he did not win the UK election, his public image was improved drastically after the coaching. Coaching is not magic nor miracle, but it can certainly make a real difference to the recipient.
