CENTER FOR COACHING IN LEADERSHIP

 

The Center for Coaching in Leadership is building the field of leadership and executive coaching by facilitating research on best practices and educating others about leadership and executive coaching.

Leadership coaches throughout the world, whether in government, NGOs, or business, have great influence on how we live and work, on our health, and on the preservation of our natural resources and environment. Coaching skills play an integral part in leaders’ ability to unearth human potential, guide learning, and help their teams envision a better future. These skills also play a critical role in developing and supporting those who run organizations.

We support leadership coaches and the leaders themselves in order to develop leadership capabilities and help achieve results for organizations and their key constituents.

The Center for Coaching in Leadership achieves these goals by:

  • Studying and disseminating key factors associated with effective leadership coaching including how coaching helps leaders:

    • develop their capacity to build relationships.
    • apply their emotional intelligence.
    • optimize their wellbeing.
    • enhance their authenticity, resilience, and achievement of organizational goals.

We also:

  • Provide access to evidence-based research and best practices.

  • Explore the mechanisms of effective leader-coach relationships.

  • Collaborate with experts in executive and leadership coaching to expand scholarly investigations on a range of leadership coaching topics.
