Wide variation in quality of practice undermines the credibility of a field that has been found to be effective (Grover, S., & Furnham, A. (2016).

Coaching stakeholders should therefore be motivated to understand what ‘good coaching’ looks like. However, it remains unclear what it means to be an outstanding, or expert, practitioner, or even whether the construct of expertise applies to the field of coaching. Within this paper, I critique literature that discusses coach expertise, and suggest the philosophical constraints embedded within current thinking imply the need for an alternative conceptualisation of expertise; adaptive expertise. Adaptive expertise is compatible with the complexity that characterises coaching, and prioritises coach decision-making (judgment and reasoning) over coaching outcomes. Many coaching texts largely ignore the construct of decision-making, with the exception of intuitive decision-making. Further research that seeks to understand coach judgment and decision-making will help coaches’ develop their practice, and may be a key to demystifying the central role of intuition in coaching.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86380128","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 randomised controlled field study, undergraduates were instructed to formulate stress-related goals for themselves and were allocated to attend an intervention group receiving one-on-one stress management coaching (coaching; n = 24) or a control group receiving no additional intervention (goal formulation; n = 20). Results suggest that both coaching and goal formulation led to a significant increase in goal attainment that was maintained at a 4-week follow-up assessment. Compared with goal formulation, coaching positively affected participants’ cognitive stress appraisal and led to reduced chronic stress levels (chronic stress screening scores, high work demands, and chronic worrying) 4 weeks after the intervention. The reduction of chronic stress was mediated by the change in participants’ cognitive stress appraisal. Thus, cognitive–behavioural coaching appears effective in helping individuals develop strategies to deal with stress, while also remaining focused on relevant goals.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90326547","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}

Recent research has even found that the higher the leadership position, the more dark triad traits were displayed. As coaching is often for people in (higher) leadership positions, the following study with 64 coaches investigated the dark triad traits among their clients and how this affected the coach as well as the coaching. The results show that the higher the client’s leadership level was, the higher their dark triad level was perceived and, thus, the more anxious and distressed the coaches were regarding the client, leading to less coaching success. Although the coaches did not name a definite strategy for dealing with such a client, the results showed that the higher their approach motivation was, the more successful the coaches was. The results depict the danger of high dark triad levels amongst coaching clients and its influences on the business coaching, implying theoretical and practical considerations.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73843723","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}

At present, the literature linking mindfulness with coaching tends to focus on the potential afforded by mindfulness techniques, while empirical assessments remain limited. The objectives of the current research are to establish preliminary understandings regarding perceived outcomes of coaching processes incorporating mindfulness techniques, and to assess the perceived outcomes of mindfulness-based coaching processes across different points of time. This study analyses the assessments of 14 Israeli professional managers, working in the education system and in the high-tech industry, of a 12-session coaching process incorporating mindfulness practices. The coachees recorded their perceptions of the coaching outcomes from each session, contemporaneously, in personal journals. In addition, coachees were interviewed twice – at the end of the coaching sessions, and two years later. The study’s findings show the benefits of mindfulness-based coaching for individuals across various domains of their lives, and its implications for coachees’ well-being and performance at work. They also show that these benefits emerge even after very short interventions, and that these benefits continue to be perceived as valuable two years after the intervention.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87582576","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}

As an alternative perspective to the more widely held cause–effect explanations on coaching, this view puts the focus on clients and their contexts as integral to understanding how coaching might work and why it is effective. In response to general limitations of quantitative and mixed-method approaches to understanding the contribution of client factors and contextual factors in coaching effectiveness, our systematic meta-synthesis of 110 peer-reviewed qualitative studies identifies the client factors and contextual conditions that have been proposed to affect when and how clients engage in effective coaching. In mapping clients’ intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics in coaching, the Integrative Relationship Model introduced in this meta-synthesis interprets the possible influence of these dynamics on clients’ change process through the uniquely integrative lens of qualitative studies.

With that comes a growing need to provide adequate training and follow-up support to classroom teachers. Unfortunately, while educators are expected to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) in the classroom, teachers commonly attend didactic-based training with little-to-no follow-up support measuring the transfer of knowledge and sustainability of learned teaching practices in the classroom. The research-to-practice gap continues and a growing number of teachers are leaving the field of special education internationally. In this article, we describe instructional coaching used in teacher education and examine different methods of providing performance-based feedback to teachers. There is a specific focus on eCoaching with Bug-in-Ear technology, an unobtrusive technique used to provide teachers with performance-based feedback in real-time while offering repeated implementation opportunities in the classroom. We explain the eCoaching process, required technology, and offer recommendations for practical application of eCoaching procedures.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84522731","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}
