There are many misconceptions about what coaching is and the various forms it can take. The field of coaching is diverse and covers many different areas of development. At its most basic, coaching is a discourse; a conversation between two people.
At the ENGAGE Session 11, held on the 5th of October 2022, by Higher Education Leadership and Management (HELM) Dr Sharon Munyaka explained just what coaching is and the different styles and types of coaching that people can participate in.
In this ENGAGE, the role of coaching was examined, its impact and relevance, the difference to mentoring and advising, and how it has achieved acclaim in accelerating change in higher education.
Joined by Professor Denise Zinn, retired DVC NMU and Programme leader of Women in Leadership at HELM, and certified coach and psychologist, Dr Paddy Pampalis, Dr Munyaka discussed the dangers and benefits of coaching and how these can shape higher education leadership in the future.
