COACHING RESEARCH

The ICF seeks to facilitate the exchange of information among researchers and practitioners studying coaching theory, methodologies and outcomes. Equally important, we seek to make this information available to practicing coaches and those interested in the coaching profession. Specifically, our goals are to:

  • increase the knowledge base of the "science" of coaching
  • contribute to the advancement of coaching theory and best practices
  • establish increased credibility for coaching as a field

In an effort to realize these goals, The Research & Development Committee of the ICF has established the first phase of the on-line Research Repository of information, with three distinct areas currently available via hyperlink:

As we continue to develop and enhance the Research Repository, the Research and Development committee is open to your inquiries and suggestions. Contact us at research@coachingfederation.org To submit unpublished papers, click here.

Also, ICF members: You are invited to come join the work of the Research & Development committee. Just send an email to research@coachingfederation.org.
