International Journal of Education and Pedagogy, 2020

Most of the organizations have recognized and realized the importance of coaching as a tool to increase the potential of the workforce in their workplace. At the same time, employers are aware of the need to implement coaching in improving the feedback environment within their organizations to improve employee performance. However, so far, the practice of coaching has been implemented as a single criterion without realizing the existence of communication gaps that have hindered individual career development. Little empirical research exists to identify the needs and existence of coaching communication as a helping behavioural between leaders and followers. Previous studies have shown that the element of communication as the indicator that should be taken under consideration in helping processes including facilitation, coaching and mentoring to help improve individual quality. It if found that the effectiveness of coaching process is contingent on this indicator. The objective of this research paper is to better define the constructs of coaching communication and to develop a measure of the coaching communication scale.

The existing study was primarily conducted with the determination to assess the perception of athletes regarding communication skills on part of coach and its role in uplifting of athletic performance. Athletes of various activities from Punjab University (n-300) were taken as a population of the study and thus 100 athletes were selected as sample by using the available sample technique. In order to collect the required data about various perspectives of the said issue, the comprehensive questionnaire was developed and distributed among the respondents (athletes of Punjab University) and got back after filling by respondents. The gathered data were administered through statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, version 26). On basis of data analysis, it was concluded that a coach as well as a trainer with good communication skills can make a coaching process easy and effective for his/her players. Based on conclusion, it is recommended that coaches and trainers need to use proper communication skills for the uplifting of player performance.

Th is article discusses coaching as a problem solving method and adopts an innovative linguistic perspective. Reducing the psychological aspect to the minimum the author promotes language to its deserved status presenting it as the basic coach's tool and initial reason for the eff ectiveness of coaching itself in instigating behavioral, attitudinal and emotional change. Th is is done by resorting to the philosophy of language (theories of relevance, speech acts and communication). It appears that a coaching conversation occurs on two levels of communication and by using two main linguistic devices, refl ective language and powerful questions, the coach can provoke client's change with little intervention. Coaching as a form of psychological help covering an extensive area between a problem solving method and pro-active leadership development is gaining in popularity with nearly 50 thousand professional coaches globally and nearly billion US Dollars total annual revenue (data collected by International Coaching Federation in 2012), the sum which doubled in the past few years. The volume of popular literature devoted to this area is constantly increasing, nevertheless, academic debate is limited and insufficient comparing to the extense of the phenomenon. This text aims at adopting a linguistic perspective and attempts to establish firm scientific grounds of coaching practice provided by the philosophy of language and communication studies. We will also propose some claims explicating the effectiveness of the coaching method. which is proved by the data published in the 8th annual survey executive coaching [http:// sherpacoaching.com]. The bulk of scholarly texts and research in coaching is written from the psychological stance with the linguistic factor virtually nonexistent. Such state of affairs is particularly surprising in view of the fact that language is a crucial element of a coaching conversation. One of the few approaches where language receives due recognition is the model of ontological coaching promoted by Fernando Flo-res and Alan Sieler, who consider it as one of the three pillars of successful coaching along with biology of cognition and existential philosophy. This article will be based on the following premises: • Coaching cannot exist without resorting to language tools.

Executive coaching has become one of the principal leadership development strategies of our time. However, this is a field of HRD that has been discussed far more often in professional than academic literature and further research is required. This work analyses the relation existing between the main explanatory factors of executive coaching effectiveness and the different types of results that can be achieved. This study also provides an empirical test of the effectiveness of executive coaching using the first three levels of Kirkpatrick's evaluation model (1975). Responses from 176 executives are analyzed, assessing their perceptions of their latest experience of executive coaching. Structural modelling is used to match factors affecting the success of executive coaching to its results. The resulting model highlights the influence exercised by the coach, and to a lesser extent the coachee and the process, on coachee satisfaction. It also shows how the coach influences the coac...

In this study, the implementation effects of a programme for the training of coaching skills with Dutch school counsellors are described. These school counsellors are expected to provide help and support to primary school teachers. Coaching is a form of in-class support intended to provide teachers with feedback on their own functioning and thereby stimulate self-reflection and self-analysis in order to improve instructional effectiveness. To assist school counsellors in their attempts to coach teachers, a training programme was designed: 'The school counsellor as coach.' A quasi-experimental, treatment-control group investigation was then set up to test the effects of this programme. Based on the pre-and post-training ratings of coaching conferences, a significant treatment effect was found for the coaching skills concerned with the development of autonomy (empowerment), feedback, and purposefulness. The pre-and posttraining ratings from coached teachers showed no significant treatment effects. This was because the teachers were not accustomed to in-class assistance and thus rated the coaching skills of the school counsellors quite favourably even at pre-test.
