Presents a model of executive coaching based on the organizational requirements that shape the leadership factors to be considered in the coaching process.

With this conceptualization of the trusted leadership advisor (TLA), a senior practitioner provides an in-depth view of the role transition from executive coach in short-term engagements to the TLA in long-term consulting relationships with corporate level and other senior business leaders. Emphasis is placed on the integration of busines...
This article presents results of an initial, empirically based professional-practice analysis (i.e., “job analysis”) of executive/professional development coaching by psychologists.

In both of these articles, she has chosen to differentiate this work, carried out by what sh...
Compassion, and especially self-compassion, are commonly understood as being antithetical to leadership and organisational success. In this article, a review of research from different scientific disciplines indicates that these positive affiliative emotions are as much a part of human survival and wellbeing, as are the need for personal ...
Theory and research in executive coaching have typically focused on the characteristics and methods of coaches and on the dyadic relationship of the coach and client. Little attention has been given to individuals such as the boss and human-resources (HR) executive who are directly or indirectly involved in the coaching process. These key...
