We used a scoping review protocol to determine to what extent these concepts have been studied together. The Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Protocol was used. We found 22 articles that studied these concepts together. Results indicated that the literature has focused on the use of coaching, not its effectiveness in relation to succession planning and has been mainly qualitative and descriptive in nature. Most measured outcomes related to leadership coaching and succession is focused only on the perceptions of participants, not tangible outcomes. Succession planning and leadership coaching have been studied in the literature independently, however, there is little research to ascertain the impact of leadership coaching on succession planning. This study examines the literature and provided directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86195003","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 purpose of this research paper is to report on how postgraduate studies in executive coaching at a South African Business School, had a spill-over effect that assisted women with their resilience in their triple roles of business leaders, mothers at home and postgraduate students at university. Eight women in these triple roles were chosen from a class of postgraduate students studying towards a master’s degree in executive coaching. This qualitative study employed Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis to analyse their lived experiences using a combination of individual semi-structured interviews and excerpts from their reflective journals. Studying coaching gave participants valuable external resources (techniques, tools and new competency skills), which in turn built their internal resources (self-esteem, confidence and new perspectives) that led to increased resilience. In addition, the positive spillover effects from their postgraduate coaching studies strengthened their resilience in their other roles, while negative spillover effects had the opposite effect.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86377501","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}

Semi-structured interviews were carried out with professionals working with fellow teachers undergoing coach training. The aim of the interviews was to collect perceptions of those who work with coach trainees, in terms of changes in their practice and attitude. In addition, a survey was administered to those teachers undergoing coach training to elicit self-reported ideas of competency and relevance of the competence details within the ICF guidelines. The outcomes of the study imply that coach training can achieve early and rapid improvements to practice, with wider positive effects within schools. The procedural aspects of coaching were more easily achieved and practised by trainees. Those aspects which required higher-order practices or changes in attitude and beliefs were less readily adopted and were often seen as less important to coaching practice. However, there is a reason for optimism in that those attributes that are recognised as important are reported as being achieved at higher levels and there appears to be potential for a pedagogical approach to the development of coaching competencies.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84965182","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}

Drawing from the Career Resources Model (Hirschi [2012]. The career resources model: An integrative framework for career counsellors.

Data drawn from a single career coaching intervention for university students served as basis to develop and test a framework linking career identity resources with the psychological career variables career optimism and career security and revealed that working on clients’ self-clarity positively contributes to the development of career-goal clarity, career optimism and career security. The findings additionally outline that the positive effects of career coaching on clients’ career optimism and career security are explained by an increase in career-goal clarity. These results suggest a process model for career coaching interventions.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80911031","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 the organisational field where it is required to enhance skills and attitudes for achieving certain objectives, coaching becomes relevant as companies are becoming more conscientious about the best way to sustain their employees over time. This is achieved through the investment in processes and accompanying programmes that include training and knowledge transfer. The objective is to achieve better results that would influence the financial and non-financial performance of the organisation. Considering that managerial coaching lacks empirical evidence for the results in executives and therefore in organisations, the present research analyses the influence of this concept on performance and its effectiveness, proving how coaching processes are fundamental tools not only for managers in human resources, but for all professionals working in leadership roles and meeting goals within organisations.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84479006","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 compares the relative impact of 1) SF with 2) PF coaching questions and with 3) a combined problem-focused and solution-focused (PF + SF) coaching questions condition. Despite much discussion about the impact of mental health issues in coaching, there has been little research on how coachees’ dysfunctional attitudes effect coaching outcomes. 80 participants were randomly assigned to PF, SF or PF + SF coaching conditions. It should be noted that a whole coaching session was not conducted – in an experimental self-coaching exercise participants responded to different types of coaching question: SF questions were more effective than PF questions on all measures. SF questions were also more effective at increasing self-efficacy and decreasing negative affect compared to a combined PF + SF approach. Dysfunctional attitudes were found to have a detrimental impact on negative affect following both PF and PF/SF questions but not SF. Further analysis revealed that PF questions were significantly less effective on decreasing negative affect for participants ‘high’ in dysfunctional attitudes, but not for those ‘low’ in dysfunctional attitudes. For those ‘low’ in dysfunctional attitudes all three coaching styles were equally effective in reducing negative affect. No other significant relationships were observed between dysfunctional attitudes on goal attainment measures. This research suggests that SF approaches are more effective than PF or combined PF + SF. Recommendations for future research and potential implications for coaching practice are discussed.","PeriodicalId":41588,"journal":{"name":"Coaching-An International Journal of Theory Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75895240","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}
