The executive coaching industry has come of age and generated even more questions:

- What is the purpose of coaching?
- Who should get coaching?
- How can you tell coaches apart?
- How are coaching results measured?
Learn from Brian Underhill, author of Executive Coaching for Results: The Definitive Guide to Developing Organizational Leaders (Berrett-Koehler 2007). Brian draws upon his and his colleagues’ vast experience, best practice knowledge and original rigorous research of the practice of executive coaching in the world’s top organizations.

Thank you for a great call today, Coaching Commons! – what I heard was affirmed of my own experience, and also gave me some good stuff to consider going forward. I’m looking forward to the two other scheduled calls with Brian Underhill. Thanks again!
Thank you. I shall be watching the updates.
I just realized I had forgotten another idea.
If this is to be a commons for not just coaches, but coaching clients and prospective clients to meet, I think it would be worth exploring how the site might need to evolve to serve the needs of clients.
Also, if the Commons were to become a place for prospective clients to get a sense of which coaches they might want to work with, that could motivate more coaches to participate more often…
