Pat's Ponderings

Dear Readers,

I am so thrilled we are having an issue of TLC devoted to research in coaching. I got so charged about the addition of research as a special symposium at the Denver ICF conference in November 2003. Now keep in mind, that I am not a researcher, nor do I like reading statistical analyses in journals...and I avoided research in my doctoral program when at all possible. I am more of the visionary, futurist, strategist...but without research, you and I would not have some data that helps us understand what works or doesn't work in coaching, what outcomes are being investigated and what does it mean to the future of coaching as a recognized profession. There is much research going on today in both qualitative and quantitative studies. And there are more and more graduate degrees and certificates popping up in academia. This is all fabulous for our emerging profession.

Please read the enclosed articles and resources and also check out the research library being developed at the ICF website at www.coachfederation.org. If you are not now a member of the ICF, now is the time to join and to get involved in the research committee, or to volunteer for other committees and task forces. Be a part of creating the profession you desire to be part of. Do it today!

Happy Coaching,

Pat

Editor's Pen

Dear Coaches,

Welcome to our first issue focused on Research in Coaching! We are benefiting from the advancement of our profession, as there are increasing numbers of coaching research in papers, articles and books. In this issue, read "Establishing an Agenda for Coaching Research" written by an ICF R&D Committee member, Dianne Stober; their chairperson is Richard Zackon (212-586-8806, Rzackon@pcncoaching.com). Both Stephen Fairley's article and the 2003 ICF Coach Survey support what I've been hearing from other coaches--that becoming a profitable entrepreneur is not happening for many, even though the coaching process may be effective for clients. To meet this need, ILCT has been providing critical practice-building courses such as "Creating a Referral Based Business" and "Practice Made Perfect: Marketing Your Coaching Business for Maximum Success"--both start in April.

Karen Wilson's article addresses the new research-based courses that she developed on coaching women. The Case Study, by Teresa Pool, not only highlights results from her own coaching practice, but it is an example of a document that can be used to promote coaching services. Our Marketing Focus article contrasts two purposes of networking groups and how to select the right one for your business.

The mission of TLC is to "nourish the intellect, intuition and inspiration of the personal/business coaching community." Next month's issue will be on "Coaching and the Pace of Modern Living" and we need a couple more contributors. May's focus is "Cross-Cultural Perspectives in Coaching."

Supporting the coaching profession,
Annette

Establishing an Agenda for Coaching Research

Over the past two years, conversations about coaching research have skyrocketed. Last year's inaugural International Coach Federation Research Symposium and the Australian Evidence-Based Coaching Conference were exciting and invigorating meetings of researchers and practitioners interested in discussing the role of research in coaching. As part of my presentation at the Australian conference, I put forward some of the tasks I see ahead for coaching research. Here is a summary of those thoughts:

There are several broad areas in which coaching research is needed at this time. They include: 1) defining what constitutes coaching; 2) adapting and developing measures appropriate for coaching research; 3) evaluating the effectiveness of coaching as an intervention; 4) developing theories of the coaching process; 5) delineating salient characteristics of clients and coaches; and 6) refining techniques based on evidence generated by research and theory.

Defining Coaching
There is a great need for testable theories that define coaching and its underlying mechanisms. When there is agreement about what actually constitutes coaching, we can then develop methodologies which are standardized and testable. For example, by using a definition such as “coaching is a collaborative process of facilitating a client’s ability to self-direct learning and growth, as evidenced by sustained changes in self-understanding, self-concept, and behavior,” we can create standardized guidelines for coaching technique. Studies which could help explicate testable definitions of coaching might include descriptions of procedures coaches actually use such as language and word analyses of coaching sessions and descriptive analyses of what coaches think they do and what client perceptions are.

Appropriate Measurements for Use in Coaching Research
There is a need for measures which are appropriate for coaching research. While the social sciences have much to offer in terms of concepts that are related to coaching, and many of these concepts have validated measures (e.g., quality of life), there are few measures that have been developed specifically for coaching. Coaching researchers will need to carefully evaluate and likely modify existing measures for appropriateness, in addition to developing coaching-specific measures.

Effectiveness of Coaching
A question of utmost importance is the question of the effectiveness of coaching. Does coaching have a demonstrable, positive effect? Group studies and controlled outcome studies are sorely needed in this area. It also is important that evaluations of effectiveness are tied to measurable outcomes (e.g., goal attainment) in addition to self-report measures (e.g., life satisfaction, quality of life). Outcome measures which utilize information from others (i.e., peers, significant others, supervisors) would also be beneficial. After such studies are completed, research questions can be refined further, such as does coaching have an effect above and beyond providing attention and feedback? Or how does coaching compare to other forms of growth and development? Or how do various types of coaching match to particular clients and client situations?

Developing Theories of the Coaching Process
Assuming coaching’s effectiveness, the development of a theory of the coaching process is also of great importance. What are the constructs which can help us understand how coaching works (e.g., self-efficacy, readiness for change, meta-cognition)? What are the necessary ingredients for a successful coaching relationship which forwards the client’s growth? What environmental factors are important in coaching?

Explicating Characteristics of Clients and Coaches
Further research into the characteristics of clients and coaches is also needed. What are the characteristics of clients which predict successful or unsuccessful coaching outcomes? Likewise, research investigating the characteristics of effective coaches such as training background, style characteristics, coaching experience, etc. is also important in training and practice.

Towards Evidence-Based Coaching
As a body of knowledge is developed on the above topics, and undoubtedly on other subjects not identified here, the opportunity arises for coaching practice to be driven by what can be demonstrated to be effective. As technique is refined by research evidence, these methods can filter back to generate new avenues of research. Research on coaching is the new frontier in the development of a field of coaching and is vital to its growth and sustainability. We have a new wave of pioneers undertaking research from which we can all benefit. Saddle up and move it out!

Who Are the Women We Are Coaching?

As the coaching profession continues to move forward to define itself as a profession, it is imperative that it attends to the full experience of what it takes to be an exceptional coach. To be sure, our skill set must be flexible, expansive and creative in order to meet the needs of each client who honors us with his or her trust. Concurrently, it is important that we know how to think like a coach; that we have the wherewithal to fully comprehend the complexities of the person with whom we are working. Questions such as: what is the emotional make-up of this person, how has the past molded the personality structure of this person, what impact does this person’s age, cultural background and gender have on how he/she sees, acts, feels, thinks, etc. Fortunately, the field of coaching does not have to exist in a vacuum. In fact, it is time that it begins to rigorously build bridges to sister (brother) professions and incorporate relevant learnings and discoveries into its body of knowledge. What a wealth of resources we have to draw upon in order to be wise and competent coaches.

Since the Women’s Movement in the late 1960’s, research into the psychology of women and later the psychology of men, has allowed professionals who seek to impact the human experience at home and in the work place, to deepen their understanding of how we grow and intellectually and emotionally process our lives. The complex nature of relationships, communication, learning (to name of few areas) have been illuminated tremendously as studies see individuals as diverse beings instead of as generic people. The work of coaches will benefit tremendously by bringing these bodies of knowledge into our consciousness as we work with our clients.

Over the past year, I have taught a course on Coaching Women and am now poised to teach it for the second time now with the benefit of the inaugural year behind me. The following are some highlights from the research from the psychology of women which will be discussed in depth in the course. How would you coach differently if you kept the following in mind when working with your female clients?

  • The woman’s psyche is oriented towards connection and relationship as distinguished from the male psyche which strives to individuate.
  • The different stages of female intellectual development are oriented around the gradually growing sense of confidence that a woman feels with her voice (thoughts) within the context of the world around her.
  • The desire to be connected is a key construct in understanding women’s conversations, thoughts and relationships. Decision making, team building, negotiating, job advancement, feedback styles, mechanisms for asking for help and giving directions, etc. are all influenced by the connection factor.
    Women will gravitate towards settings where they can cooperate as a first priority. Competition and accomplishment are valued to a lesser, although still present, degree.
  • The relative dominance of the female brain in areas supporting verbal capacity accounts for why a majority of women enjoy “talking through” challenges of all sorts.
  • The ability to easily associate words with feelings displayed by many women can be traced to the large number of nerve bundles within the female brain that connects the right brain to the left brain.
  • The capacity of the female endocrine system to produce large amounts of serotonin contributes to the observation that many women take time to think through situations before they act.

The contribution of these and other research findings will allow coaches to provide more complete assessments, develop more powerful working alliances, and cocreate more effective pathways for growth and life enhancement. Knowing our clients beyond their situations, desires and behavior gives us a more complete view of who they are and thus will take us as coaches a long way towards facilitating successful change and helping our clients appreciate the enormous capacity that they have to create possibilities in their lives.

New Classes: The Theory and Practice of Coaching Women

Two New Innovative Classes from Executive Coach Academy in Partnership with Institute for Life Coach Training

For the past twenty five years, extensive research has been conducted which highlights the cognitive, emotional, neurological and social anatomy of women. In order to be effective coaches, it is imperative that we know this research, understand its implications and utilize it continuously in the work that we do across all practice venues. Participants will be on the forefront of the coaching field as conceptual bridges are constructed between psychological research and coaching applications. In this course we will upgrade existing coaching tools and introduce new ways of understanding our female clients. (See separate article above.)

Part I: Characteristics of Female Coaching Clients—A dynamic and useable course which will highlight the research about women and how we can use this knowledge to effectively coach women. Four critical dimensions will be discussed: psychological foundations (based on the book The Healing Connection by Jean Baker Miller, Ph.D.); intellectual development and organization (based on the book Women’s Ways of Knowing by Mary Belenky, et.al.); how women think, express themselves, and process information (based on the book You Just Don’t Understand by Deborah Tannen); and a brief consideration of a popular spiritual/community consciousness which is utilized by many women (based on the book Circle of Stones by Judith Duerk).

12 Weeks beginning Tuesday April 20 thru July 13 (no class July 6)
Tuesdays 4:00 p.m. ­ 5:00 p.m. Eastern time
Delivered over the telephone. Telephone bridge number to be announced for course registrants.
Cost: $450

Part II: Issues and Techniques for Coaching Women—Part II will focus on two key questions: what are the most frequent issues presented by women in coaching and what coaching skills will most powerfully help women achieve their coaching goals? Topics which possess personal, social and
leadership/business relevance will be discussed with accompanying readings, presentations, discussion, case studies, and some skills practice and
development.

12 Weeks beginning July 20 thru October 5
Tuesdays 4:00 p.m. ­ 5:00 p.m. Eastern time
Delivered over the telephone
Cost: $450 or $850 for both classes

Instructor: Karen Kahn Wilson, Ed.D. PCC is an experienced coach, teacher, author and psychologist who has worked with women in different capacities throughout her 25-year career. She is noted for her warm, dynamic and interactive teaching style. All classes will be recorded and made available for $15 from an independent audiotape producer.

Researching Success Factors in Professional Coaching

In his new best selling book, Getting Started in Personal and Executive Coaching, author Stephen Fairley discusses some of the incredible findings he discovered as part of a nationwide survey he conducted on over 300 coaches to find out what works and what doesn’t when it comes to creating a financially successful coaching practice.

  • Some of the statistics about the field of coaching are quite startling:
  • 73% of all coaches make less than $10,000 their first year.
  • Only 11% of coaches are able to make more than $50,000 by their 2nd year.
  • Only 60% of all second-year coaches have managed to find 10 paying clients.
  • 30% of all coaches have never been able to find 10 paying clients.
  • Only 9% of coaches are currently making more than $100,000 a year coaching.

After seeing that a large number of coaches are finding it difficult to land new clients and create enough revenues from coaching to make a real living, Stephen decided to study financially successful coaches (those making $75,000 or more) to determine what they do and don’t do in the areas of: sales, marketing, and financial issues.

In terms of sales and marketing, financially successful coaches don’t just rely on referrals to find new clients; they use active sales strategies to target prospects. The number one way they do this is through the use of paid presentations, seminars, and workshops. There are 3 keys successful coaches remember when using presentations to attract clients:

  • Target the right audience. Talk to your prospects, not your peers.
  • Talk about a “point of pain.” Every person has a problem or a challenge they are facing. When developing your presentation be sure to discover your audience’s major challenges.
  • Don’t sell coaching. Your presentation should be focused on providing people with solid information and proven strategies that can help them resolve their problem. Use illustrations of how your coaching helped people like them, but don’t focus on coaching. Coaching is a tool you use, it’s a process. Don’t sell the process, sell the results.

In terms of finances, financially successful coaches recognize they need to invest money on a regular basis to build their business. Over 60% of coaches who make more than $75,000 a year invest at least $200 to $500 per month on different sales and marketing activities like: attending networking events, direct mail campaigns, and sending out newsletters/ezines. It is especially important during the start up phase (the first 18-24 months) of your business to invest heavily in proven marketing techniques.

The core concept of Getting Started in Personal and Executive Coaching is that building a successful coaching practice isn’t magic or rocket science, it is work and it takes time, energy and money. It follows the same principles and guidelines as building any other small professional service business. To create a thriving coaching practice you must devote a lot of time, energy, and resources and manage it like a small business.

Marketing Focus: Choose the Right Networking Group

Entrepreneurs are very busy—but is their activity supporting their business goals? When selecting a networking group, consider if your needs are “training” or “production.” If your goal is to enhance your skills for meeting strangers and describing your coaching business, you want a networking group that will “train” you. But if you are looking for hard referrals that will convert into cold cash, you are looking for “production” from your networking group.

Our local chamber of commerce has a powerful leads networking group that is very supportive. The group consists of various types of businesses. It meets twice a month and during the meeting, allows only 20-30 seconds per participant to introduce their business. Attendees are friendly and get to know one another better outside the regular meeting through “one-on-ones” in which two business people get together over coffee/tea to describe their businesses and ideal clients. Also, regular attendees are allowed to provide a 10-minute spotlight on their business every year or so. As a coach, I was asked to provide a very short inspirational “Coaching Moment” at several meetings. A networking group similar to this will help you to finely hone your skills in introductions.

Everything is different when you are pursuing valuable referrals that will provide a steady stream of clients. Seek a networking group that is intimately involved in business relationships with your ideal client. Adjust your attire, business card and introduction to specifically focus on that market. Clearly describe your ideal client so that your networking partners can easily identify them as they go about their daily business. Build relationships with the group members to help bring you to their mind between meetings. Loyalty to the group is essential—you will be expected to pass along a certain number of referrals to group members regularly.

Know your goal—is it training or production? And build your business wisely by selecting the right networking group.

Rather than reproducing the report here, we are providing the link (www.coach-federation.org/coaching_survey/index.asp; icfsurvey@coachfederation.org) and mentioning highlights of the data. The categories receiving the highest number of responses are listed first. Not all data is included here.

  • Credentialing: 48% are working toward credentialing, 33% are not working toward credentialing
  • Training: 50% graduated from an ICF accredited program
  • Income Time Frame: 30% have earned income from coaching for 2-5 years, 20% for 1-2 years, 20% for 5-10 years
  • Career Status: 52% are full-time coaches, 46% part-time
  • Recent Coach Specific Training: in the past year, approximately 21% earned training in each of these categories: 10-29 hours, 30-59, 60-124; and 15% earned 125 or more hours
  • Average number of clients: 31% for 4-6 clients, 22% for 1-3 clients and 21% for 7-10 clients
  • Sessions per month: 40% for 3 sessions/month
  • Hourly rate: 32% for $100-149
  • Typical scope of time with client: the top two ratings tied at 33% for 3-6 months and 6-12 months
  • Primary client types: the top rating was twice as high as the next level--42% for individual professionals or executives; the next rating was 21% for other individuals
  • Gender of the coach: female 73%, male 27%
  • Total income: 33% for <$10,000
  • Age: 42% for 45-54
  • Education: 44% graduate, 31% 4-year college, 11% professional or doctorate

Case Study: The Impact of Coaching on Executive Development

In Fall of 2002, Transitions for Life conducted a three-month initiative to provide short-term coaching for executives of an international Fortune 500 company. This study was undertaken to demonstrate the effectiveness of short-term professional coaching as one component of an executive development program. Specifically, the study was intended to answer the following questions:

1. Is short-term coaching, focused on specific development goals, an effective executive development tool?
2. Can coaching results be measured in terms of benefit to the executive, the organization and the client?

Following completion of the coaching period, each participant overwhelmingly affirmed favorable outcomes from their short-term executive coaching experience. Based on the coach’s observations during the study and the results of the participant survey, the following recommendations were proposed:

Select executives based on their desire for change and willingness to commit to the process.
Coaching is not an effective technique for forced development and is effective only when the participant is ready for change.

Establish measurable goals at the onset of the coaching process.
Both executive and coach need a full understanding of participant goals in order for short-term coaching situations to be effective; however, both coach and executive should anticipate that goals may change during the process as the coaching relationship evolves and other development needs are identified.

Encourage goals that address personal traits and habits that may hinder success.
Progress in these areas will have the most significant impact on professional growth.

Provide a fully confidential environment for the coaching process.
While goals and achievements may need to be shared with appropriate contacts within a company in order to track progress, the content of individual coaching sessions should remain confidential. Based on their concerns regarding confidentiality, study participants indicated a preference for external coaches not affiliated with their employer. If internal coaches are to be used, these individuals should be allowed to maintain the confidentiality of their sessions with the executives they coach.

Take a checkpoint 4-6 weeks into the coaching relationship.
After conducting several coaching sessions with an executive, a coach can typically predict if progress is likely and determine if it is appropriate to continue the coaching sessions, or whether it may be more effective to defer until a later date. Impacting factors include the executive’s readiness for change, level of commitment to the coaching process, and relationship with the coach.

Commit executives to a minimum of three months for tangible results.
Progress toward the achievement of professional development goals often occurred after only two or three coaching sessions; however, because the real power of the coaching process to change an individual occurs over time, significant advancement occurred as expected near the end of the three-month study period.
