Using purposive convenience sampling, 260 coaches were asked about their training, the ethical dilemmas they have experienced, and how they have resolved their ethical dilemmas. The qualitative and quantitative results indicated that coaches reported a variety of dilemmas, with the three most common types being dilemmas related to conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and boundaries between therapy and coaching. The most reported methods of resolving dilemmas included informal resolution, referral to therapy, seeking supervision, seeking consultation and referring to the ICF Ethics Code. The results highlight common ethical issues that arise in coaching and their relationship to other helping professions.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85263595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Importantly, however, recent research within Strength and Conditioning (S & C) has argued for a focus on cognitive skills and processes to support the comprehensive and established bio-physical educational materials available to learners. Accordingly, an area of growing interest within S & C is how to most appropriately prepare coaches for the authentic demands of the workplace. In other professional domains, Cognitive Apprenticeship (CA) methods have been researched and adopted to enhance the effectiveness of workers. This article provides an overview of the characteristics of CA and how these pedagogical tools could be applied across different S & C learning environments. The approaches discussed, and conceptually modelled, offer a practical and feasible solution for future coach preparation methods. Such an approach would focus on developing more contextually aware and impactful coaches and improve the services provided to an organisation.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84163301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of power posing and inner images in terms of imagination on self-efficacy in the setting of horse-assisted coaching using a quasi-experimental test design with repeated measures. Participants (N = 149), aged between 16 and 78 years (M = 29.38, SD = 13.12, 80% female), belonged either to the intervention group (N = 62) or the control group (N = 87). Intervention group subjects received a horse-assisted coaching with power posing exercises. Self-efficacy was measured two times by using the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale and dispositional optimism was assessed using the revised version of the Life Orientation Test. Results show a highly significant increase in self-efficacy and dispositional optimism through a horse-assisted coaching with power posing exercises. The change in the self-efficacy represents a strong effect. Gender and horse experience of the subjects (intervention group) did not significantly influence the change of the selfefficacy between the measuring points. Long-term effects and the different factors of action in equine-assisted coaching, which has hardly been researched so far, as well as gender- and age-specific differences should be examined more closely in follow-up studies. Implications for practitioners statement The findings of the study support the use of power posing exercises and inner images in horse-assisted coaching practice. Horse-assisted coaching can demonstrably empower clients using the exercises presented in the study, given that it is carried out by coaches with a professional background. Horse-assisted coaching has the potential to enable clients to develop their self-efficacy and dispositional optimism.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83122862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre and post the four-week coaching encounter she completed, the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) and a Wheel of Life (WoL). Using the WoL as a goal setting tool, the gratitude exercises were selected to complement the coachee’s weekly goals. After sessions, her SHS score increased by 50%, whereas her GQ6 score increased by 33%. There were also changes in her WoL ratings, particularly in the area of family and friends, as well as personal growth. Although the direction of these changes is predicted by the literature, we may need to be cautious about interpreting the strength of these changes. They may be due to a placebo effect. An inherent weakness of the case study approach is that factors other than the intervention can impact measured changes. Nevertheless, this case study does outline a process of how to integrate a positive psychology intervention into a coaching encounter and may act as a template for this type of work.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84920357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper intends to amend this deficit and provides an understanding and conceptual model of the dynamics in a coach’s individual well-being at work. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 18 coaches and the findings illustrate that Coaches’ well-being is not a static state. There are job demands of coaching that can impact a coach’s well-being and there is a need for coaches to balance their resources with a high level of agility. There are also deeper underlying dynamics to a coach’s well-being that are interrelated with each other; energy currents, self-regulation, and levels of well-being. The way in which coaches optimise their resources and energy and active management of self will help or hinder a coach’s well-being at work, which may be more difficult for novice coaches.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74120846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Workplace coaching is directly and indirectly affected by these changes in numerous ways, which is why we have conducted a Delphi study about the future of workplace coaching. We followed the standard procedures for this technique, using 16 structured interviews and identifying 15 future workplace coaching scenarios. These scenarios were evaluated for their estimated prevalence in 2020 and 2030 and desirability by N = 822 (before the pandemic) and N = 337 (during the pandemic), with market participants from German-speaking countries. To explore different perspectives, four different groups were recruited: coaches, HR professionals, representatives of coaching associations and coaching institutes. The prevalence of digitally-related scenarios is rated significantly higher for 2030. At the same time, artificial intelligence, algorithm-based programs, online coaching and online coach training are rather disliked, especially by coaches who prefer high quality, face-to-face coaching processes. During the Covid-19 pandemic, these scenarios were estimated to be more likely than beforehand.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79614116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
