We’ve reached the end of another year of Coaching Research in Practice. Across the year, we highlighted ten pieces of evidence-based coaching research and offered practical suggestions for applying the findings in your own coaching practice. Each article has been designed to keep you current as a professional as the coaching landscape continues to evolve.
Here’s what we explored this year:
February:Flow in coaching: Coincidence, craft or competence?
March:Navigating duty of care in coaching
April:Diagnose and Treat vs. Recognise and Respond?
May: What impact can coaching have on climate action and change?
June:Working in the world of digital coaching
July:Are you cultivating self-processing competence for clients and yourself?
August:Do coaches need domain knowledge or just coaching skill?
September:What coaches actually say in session: A closer look at verbal behaviours
October:The changing landscape of coaching
November: What impact do learning theories have on your coaching?
