Executive Coaching

The Positive Psychology website is always a mine of fascinating articles and research write-ups. Take this link, which is to an article featuring a 2008 coaching conference bringing together theorists and practitioners to explore the intellectual and evidenced-based foundation for the emerging field of coaching psychology. The GROW model makes an appearance, as do various short pieces exploring the development of coaching psychology, models of practice and noted authors. Despite being a 2008 article it opens the door into a range of more current articles which those of us keen to explore positive psychology and its organisational benefits find a helpful resource.

In addition, at The Open Channel, coaching is an essential feature of our practice. The GROW framework is one of several we use with clients. Frameworks provide structure to individual coaching sessions and also help clients to locate themselves in the piece of work, being able to see the development of the themes and threads in each contact session. We'll say more about the impact of coaching in later posts, as we reflect on and explore the implications of our real-world work with clients.
