ABSTRACT Coaching as a practice borrows from many related fields. The problem is that most of the coaching models in use have not been tested or validated for the coaching context. If coaching is to be taken seriously, it needs to derive its own models that are methodologically rigorous, theoretically grounded and empirically informed. The Coaching Model Derivation Process (CMDP) offers a possible solution. The CMDP is a five-step conceptual process that combines grounded theory principles and canonical action research to systematically create rigorous, empirically-based and domain-specific coaching models. By following the CMDP, coaching researchers can derive coaching models that are fit for purpose given a specific coaching problem domain. These models can, in turn, be used by coaching practitioners in situations where a focussed coaching approach is needed to address a known problem situation. It is hoped that through using empirically derived coaching models, coaching efficacy could be improved and moreover, the perception challenged that coaching practice is not evidence-based.

ABSTRACT To enhance the value of coaching provision, coaching sessions are assessed as part of the accreditation of coaches by professional bodies and through the selection of coaches for programmes in organisations. However, the idea of the quality of a coaching session and a valid standpoint from which such an assessment can be made, remain problematic. Using constructivist grounded theory, this study explores how coaching sessions are perceived by three parties: clients, coaches and groups of coaches acting as observers. Analysis of the multiple perspectives on each of six sessions shows a significant discrepancy between them supporting the relevance of the Rashomon effect in coaching, based on Kurosawa’s (1950) film, ‘Rashomon’ in which different witnesses provide conflicting accounts of the same events. The study questions the practice of prioritising first or third-person perspectives when the quality of a coaching session is assessed and addresses the potential implications of the identified issues for coaches, assessors and educators of coaching.

ABSTRACT Previous research indicates that coaches frequently experience negative effects for themselves from their work and therefore live with potential stressors due to their work. This study examines whether or not workplace coaches are satisfied with their life. Data were gathered from 110 coaches (75% of which were self-employed) from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland via an online survey. Coaches were asked about different aspects of life satisfaction (concerning their job, financial situation, and leisure time) and work-related mental strain (i.e., cognitive and emotional strain). Compared to German population norm scores (including both employed and self-employed working individuals), coaches show higher satisfaction with their job and leisure time, and less work-related mental strain. Moreover, the vast majority of coaches would choose to be a workplace coach again in retrospect. Coaching supervision had a significant buffer effect on coaches’ job satisfaction when they experienced a high amount of work-related mental strain. Findings imply that coaches are able to counterbalance the possible negative effects on life satisfaction of their work as coaches. The use of coaching supervision appears to be a successful measure to maintain high satisfaction with their work as coaches despite an elevated level of mental strain.

ABSTRACT In the managerial discourse, coaching is thought of, amongst other things, as a tool for achieving customer-oriented employees and for supporting employees in recognising opportunities for improving their job skills. This idea too often take for granted that being coached by a manager will automatically be experienced as valuable to the interactants. Although the positive potential of coaching is recognised, the bulk of research on managerial coaching has overlooked the mutuality, the co-creation aspect of coaching, and the potential of negative outcomes. In general, few studies address micro-practices of coaching and no studies have specifically focused on congruence regarding micro-elements of interactive coaching practices. This article addresses these weaknesses by drawing on both practice theory and an in-depth qualitative study of coaching sessions featuring instructors and bus/tram drivers in the public transport industry. Six overarching coaching practices are identified – i.e., checking, questioning, defusing, confirming, legitimising, and picturing. What is also identified is how specific elements of these practices – i.e., procedures, understandings, and engagements – are intertwined, resulting in either congruence or incongruence among the interactants. A theoretical framework is outlined, describing and explaining the essence of how coaching practices are constituted.

ABSTRACT This paper suggests that interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is a valuable research method for coaching research. The paper positions coaching as a social activity and highlights its subjective and contextual nature. It aims to establish clear guidance by drawing on both the author’s recent research experience and others’ scholarly work. The author encourages scholars with a similar interest (phenomenology, hermeneutics, ideography) to explore IPA as a potential methodology for coaching research. The clearly laid out guidance here on how to conduct an IPA study will be attractive to the wider qualitative research community. The paper contributes to coaching research by promoting IPA as a methodology that helps to develop subjective understanding within the field.

ABSTRACT To examine the fit between core concepts of self-determination theory and patient experiences with health coaching, 18 participants at one large United States Veterans Affairs medical centre completed semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews (40–60 min) about their experiences with health coaching. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis, and self-determination theory concepts (autonomy, competence, relatedness, and self-integration) were applied to the data. Participant descriptions of their experiences with health coaching were consistent with the process of motivation and goal attainment proposed by self-determination theory. Participants felt the programme supported their sense of autonomy by helping them select goals that were important to them and recognising their ownership over outcomes. Competence was described as the ‘confidence’ to tackle any challenge and relatedness was discussed as a consistently strong rapport with the health coach. Participants spoke to self-integration by discussing their ability to maintain behaviour change beyond the coaching programme, with some explicitly making the connection between behaviours and their values and life purpose. This study provides initial support for the use of self-determination theory as a theoretical basis of health coaching. Support for patient autonomy, competence, and relatedness may be important components of health coaching practice.

ABSTRACT Whilst the relationship between working alliance and sexual identity disclosure has received some empirical attention in the psychotherapeutic literature, it has yet to be examined in coaching contexts. To commence the exploration of sexual identity issues in coaching, a pilot study (n = 40) was designed to investigate the extent to which an imagined disclosure experience would impact upon participants’ perceptions of working alliance. Two hypothesises were tested using a vignette-based survey. The first predicted that both working alliance and disclosure intentions would be related to the anticipated support of a coach. The second hypothesis predicted that imagined sexual identity disclosure to a coach would have a positive impact on perceived working alliance. Whilst a correlational analysis found support for the first hypothesis, the pattern of relationships differed for the two anticipated support variables: coach comfort and coach support. The second hypothesis was tested using a simple vignette manipulation and pre-post disclosure measures. Participants reported a strengthening of perceived working alliance after considering the disclosure scenario (t = −2.30, p < .05). A discussion of the results is then presented and related to recent evidence confirming the importance of autonomy support to disclosure decisions and their long-term impact. Implications for coaching research and practice are provided.
虽然工作联盟和性别身份披露之间的关系在心理治疗文献中得到了一些实证关注，但尚未在教练背景下进行研究。为了开始探索教练中的性别认同问题，设计了一项试点研究(n = 40)，以调查想象的披露经历对参与者对工作联盟的看法的影响程度。两种假设通过基于图像的调查进行了检验。第一项研究预测，工作联盟和披露意向都与教练的预期支持有关。第二个假设预测，向教练透露性身份的想象会对感知到的工作联盟产生积极影响。虽然相关分析发现支持第一个假设，但两个预期支持变量的关系模式不同:教练舒适度和教练支持。第二个假设是使用一个简单的小插曲操作和前后披露措施进行检验。在考虑了披露方案后，参与者报告了感知到的工作联盟的加强(t = - 2.30, p < 0.05)。对结果进行了讨论，并与最近的证据相关联，证实了自主支持对披露决策及其长期影响的重要性。为教练研究和实践提供了启示。

ABSTRACT The rapid growth of coaching practices has outpaced the current best-practice empirical research and created a difficult landscape to navigate for coaches and consumers alike. To overcome these challenges the present study proposed to employ the neuro-screening measure to develop and monitor an individually tailored coaching intervention for training senior-managers’ inspirational leadership. We have used the quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) screening to build the individual profiles of every coachee to assess their baseline (trait) characteristics in order to develop the coaching interventions to enhance effective and minimise ineffective behaviour. The qEEG-screening profile resulted in nine metrics characterising different traits and features of every coachee. Based on these profiles individualised 4-month coaching programmes were suggested to coachees. The results indicated that participation in the individually designed 4-month coaching programme was associated with significant improvement (70.7%) or optimisation (55.6%) of metrics in the 71.7% of coachees. This was paralleled by reduced scores in independent Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory scales. We concluded that the employment of qEEG-screening profiling allows coaches and trainers to assess deep dynamic neurological mechanisms that underpin baseline traits and features essential for effective, flexible and sustainable leadership, as well as track their development over time.
