Become an evidence-based coach

Many coaches call themselves evidence-based, but if a client questioned you on the evidence that underpins your practice could you answer? Evidence Club supports coaches to understand evidence in coaching and how it applies to their practice.

Learn what makes effective coaching

In this edition of evidence club we will explore a paper that examines what works in coaching. We will explore how you can use this knowledge to shape your practice and provide information to clients about the kinds of outcomes they can expect from coaching.
