| Experiences in your personal life outside coaching | Mean=1.77 Variance=1.68 | Mean=1.71 Variance =1.59 | t = 0.35 df =214 | >.05 |
This final set of items is directly aligned with those of the previous question—except in this instance the items focus on the current (rather than overall) development of the coaches. Only one item yielded significant differences between ICF certified and renegade coaches. This is the item concerning “courses, seminars or workshops (including online courses).” ICF certified coaches are more likely to indicate that they are influenced currently by participation in these training and education services than are renegades (significant at the .05 level of confidence).

What a terrific paper! And I’m not saying that because my name is spelled correctly or my ideas are accurately presented. The distinction between internal/external locus of control, the renegades/certified distinction, and the frontier town analogy are all stimulating and thought-provoking ideas.
