Thematic analysis of follow-up interviews completed with caregivers of children with SCI (N = 7). During the initial coding phase, two reviewers deductively coded the data using the interview guide used to complete the interviews and subsequently inductively coded the data to identify emerging themes. The codes were analyzed and organised into themes. The reviewers examined each other’s themes to compare their interpretation, assessed themes in relation to coded quotes, and developed consensus on themes. Three common themes emerged that reflect the parent perspectives towards coaching with 2–3 subthemes – (1) new learning with subthemes of goal-oriented approach, goal setting, and organisation strategies, (2) client-coach relationship with subthemes of accountability, convenience, and support, and (3) gaining insight with subthemes of self-efficacy and confidence. Findings indicate perceived benefits of coaching in context from caregivers of children with SCI. Coaching in Context may be an effective approach for fostering skill development and increased self-efficacy for caregivers of children with SCI. It can be used by clinicians to enhance existing skills, such as therapeutic use of self and goal setting, to encourage client participation.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87499452","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}

Indeed, the nuances of the learning requirements of a Western manager from a global MNC and those of a newly appointed Chinese manager are very useful. The book comprehensively addresses many aspects of coaching delivery, training and application. It also covers the issue of how to set up a coaching business in China, having stated that the appetite for coaching is healthy and has moved from the remedial stance to a more progressive and positively focussed stance. Both individual and team coaching are addressed. There is one chapter on ‘Immunity to Change’ which addresses the issue of resistance to being coachable which can be a factor in Chinese organisations which are entrenched in traditional philosophies of business and reluctant to adopt Western originated change tools. Overall, I found this book to be a really interesting read. At the simplest end, it is a very good guide to many facets of the market for coaching in China and the various cultural issues that need to be taken into consideration in order for it to be successful. Beyond this, however, it is a really good guide for anyone who has aspirations to coach in the Chinese context, or to coach Chinese people who might be gaining leadership positions in Western organisations. A slight caution would be that there seems to be quite a bit of anecdotal reporting of the different scenarios. However, the breadth of subjects and the clear experience of the authors means that every chapter covers its topic authoritatively, accompanied by highly practical insights and ideas. Quirkily, a couple of the early chapters, whilst drawing on other works in support, do not give their references at the end. For anyone interested in stepping outside the Western application of coaching and/ or is interested in Chinese business leadership development, I recommend this book.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82326179","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}

Although some studies have found that the relationship is a predictor of outcomes, others have reported contrary findings. Using random assignment and a switching-replication design, this study had two aims: first, to examine the alignment (i.e., perception, evaluation) of the relationship during the coaching; and second, to determine if the alignment of the relationship influences coaching outcomes. The relationship measures included the working alliance and goal-focused coaching, as rated by the coach and the coachee. The coachee’s direct supervisor rated the coaching outcome measured by a leadership-behaviour assessment. The research studied fifty-six coaching dyads who engaged in four face-to-face, 1-hr coaching sessions over a 4- to 6-week period. The results showed that the coaches’ and coachees’ evaluation of the coaching relationship became less, rather than more, aligned across time. Further examination showed the alignment of the relationship (goal-focused or relationship satisfaction) did not influence the coaching outcome, as rated by the supervisors. Implications of the results for coaching theory, research, and practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74463330","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}

The article also sheds light on how the ‘Coaching Dance’ can facilitate movement towards a more non-directive approach to enhance knowledge exchange allowing Chinese managers to elicit a promotion-focus and positive career behaviours from coachees. The paper offers some evidence that a predominantly non-directive approach can positively impact knowledge exchange and socialisation when a multitiered approach to coaching is deployed in a Confucian environment.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76396179","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}

The study considers stress, wellbeing, resilience, goal attainment and coaching effectiveness as coaching outcomes.

The results indicate that social support predicts working alliance, and working alliance in turn predicts wellbeing and coaching effectiveness over time. The findings suggest that it is vital for coaches to monitor changes in the coachees’ social networks and their working alliance since these have a significant bearing on the effectiveness of the sessions and the coachees’ wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83343928","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}

However, despite the progress made in understanding self-regulation, its application in certain areas remains scarce. To remedy this situation, this paper intends to examine the relationship between coaching and self-regulation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 coaches in order to gather information regarding the phases of coaching, the critical elements concerning its implementation, and the changes that are perceived in clients. The findings indicated that coaching and self-regulation share elements, such as certain constituent phases, a focus on goal-achievement, and an interest in personal development and, consequently, in people’s well-being. This study concludes that both processes could benefit from each other through sharing their theoretical bases and the structure of their respective practical interventions.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87701296","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}

In a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, the ability of coaches to monitor, manage and enable their own well-being is an important component of effective and ethical practice. However, little is known about the self-care needs and practices of coaches, with few resources available to guide practitioners in the development of personalised self-care plans. In this context, it is argued that the use of formulation has the potential to make a significant contribution. Formulation is well-established in applied psychology as a means of better understanding and responding to the needs of individual clients. This article extends the use of formulation to the domain of coach self-care. Following a review of literature relevant to self-care and to formulation, the article presents a case study which illustrates how formulation was applied by a coach to enhance self-awareness, self-monitoring and decision-making in relation to her self-care needs. Particular attention is paid to the way in which the process guided the coach's thinking and decision-making to illustrate how formulation can enable reflective practice in relation to self-care. Implications for training and practice are considered.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87963080","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}
