Coaching Project
In order to better understand how the impact of Coaching on business students, we take into account for the purpose of this article a recent project designed for coaching a set number of participants and then recording their opinions and judgments on how this program impacted them.
The participants that took part in this online engagement are of two categories:
- Undergraduate students (International Business School in South Korea); &
- Certified professional coaches (ICF & other ICF accredited institutions)
Purpose of this Coaching Project
Coaching itself is a broad arena having various beneficial dimensions.
The purposes that this project particularly focused on and the resultant possible outcomes expected from this project were –
- Understanding how the individual participants found the overall concept of coaching and its value to them; &
- How it affected the overall experience of the student participants and their emotional intelligence.
Survey types and sources
- Pre-coaching survey
- Post -coaching survey
- Evaluation of the overall experience of the participants
The questionnaires used in this survey was sourced from –
- Rotterdam Emotional Intelligence Scale (REIS)
- Organizational Commitment Scale (OCS)
Limitations of this survey
Before moving forward, it is important to share the limitations encountered during the undertaking of this project.
- The data cultivated as part of this project focused on highlighting the qualitative aspects of coaching rather than its quantitative nature. This is merely due to the short number of participants who responded to both the pre & post surveys – 15 students.
- Due to the pandemic, the coaching sessions were 100% online.
