Ep 32 | Make sense of our identity as coaches

The Coaching Academic | theory to practice

In this episode, I discuss a study that explores how coaches-to-be make sense of their identities. In this episode I summarise the key findings which includes the conflicting role of structure in the sensemaking process and translate how you can utilise the findings from this study into practice. The study I am discussing in this episode is Moore, L., & Koning, J. (2016). Intersubjective identity work and sensemaking of adult learners on a postgraduate coaching course: Finding the balance in a world of dynamic complexity. Management Learning, 47(1), 28-44.
