abstract = {Objectives: This study aimed to explore how eight female leaders from four Arab countries experienced their leadership journey, and to consider a potential role for coaching in that developmental journey.  Design and Method: A qualitative design was applied to explore the participants’ experiences. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data.  Results: Four themes emerged: (i) a continuous, exhausting struggle; (ii) fulfilment and pride in achievements; (iii) adoption of coping strategies; (iv) engagement in personal and professional development.  Conclusion: The findings suggest that coaching may be an appropriate intervention to increase the individual leadership potential of females in the Arab world.},
