Coaching studies often arise from coaching practice. This page of interviews offers some insight into what the coach researcher asked about and what was learned to inform coaching practice. If you’re interested in reading more coaching studies (in addition to the links provided with each interview), please visit The Research Repository at The Foundation of Coaching, soon to be The Institute of Coaching.

If you have published a coaching study and would like to be considered for an interview, please contact us directly at team@coachingcommons.org.
