Without the Coaching Commons, Who Will Ask the Hard Questions and Provide an Independent Forum for Discussion?
It is with some regret that we wind down the Coaching Commons. For many years I have felt that the coaching profession has become large enough and important enough to warrant its own regular news coverage.
Several years ago I published the Coaching Insider. A professional journalist produced it and we ... Read More

Just One Last Word: Thanks

So Much More Than A Website

The Coaching Commons employs a full-time journalist (Mark Joyella), and their graphics, stories, and contributions by volunteer reporters and researchers are top notch.

The Coaching Commons Will Become a Permanent Part of Coaching History
I remember during the 2005 ICF Conference in San Jose, California where I first met Ruth Ann Harnisch at a breakfest held by David Goldsmith.
