In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer explores ‘Does coaching work?’ with Dr Gil Bozer, Dr Rebecca Jones and Dr Yi-Ling Lai.  We ask whether coaching can really make a difference by exploring:   What are the potential benefits of coaching? What do we mean by contracting and why is it important? How can the Return On Investment of coaching be measured? How is coaching perceived differently by organisations and individuals? Which coaching approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Solution Focused Coaching or the GROW model, are most effective? Which is better for the client: virtual or in-person coaching? How can coaching help with working from home?   We find out what Coaching Psychology research studies have revealed to us about the effectiveness of coaching in today’s society.   Hear from today’s panel of experts on how you can capitalise on Coaching Psychology research studies to evolve your coaching practice: Dr. Gil Bozer is a workplace coaching researcher, senior lecturer, author, and consultant.
