Exploring Coaching for Social Impact From The Perspective Of The Coach
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: There is a dearth of empirical research on coaching for social impact. Accreditation bodies are committed to delivering social impact through coaching initiatives. Yet, there are no clear attempts to define this field of practice. This study asks, what is the reality of coaching for social impact (CFSI) from the perspective of the coach? Using constructivist grounded theory, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the aim of understanding how coaches discuss CFSI. The findings suggest that CFSI is a complex, multi-layered, anti-oppressive practice that requires an intersectional feminist approach. The CFSI Ecological Framework provides an informative starting point for the coaching profession.
