abstract = {Objectives: This study addressed three research questions: How do participants perceive the effects of coaching and sustain changes a year later? What challenges were experienced by the coachees in sustaining their changes? What factors enabled the coachees in sustaining their changes?  Design: The study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to understand the felt experiences of former coachees on the effects of coaching after a period of 12 months.  Methods: Seven former coachees were purposively selected as participants. Informed consent of the participants and ethical clearance were obtained to conduct research interviews. Semi-structured interviews of the participants were conducted using open-ended questions. The interview conversations were audio-recorded and transcriptions were obtained from a service provider. IPA was used to analyse data and identify themes relevant to the objectives.  Results: The study revealed a number of aspects about sustainable change, these include sincere efforts through concentration and self-discipline, and intrinsic motivation supported by coaching to change.  Conclusions: Sustained effects of coaching over a time are linked to coachee satisfaction derived from fulfillment of their goals and desires. The coach’s role in reinforcing client interests/passion and coachee action to maintain the changes are both crucial in achieving durable effects.},
