WHAT IS COACHING EXPLANATION - PAGE 5 OF 5
What are the origins of Coaching?

There are many influences on the field of coaching - from the familiar ground of sports coaching to push people to achieve, to philosophical and psychological models. Other influences include education, consulting, mentoring, training, counselling, leadership and organisational development and personal development.

The field of coaching is always developing. Coaching and Mentoring International (formerly The UK College of Life Coaching and College of Executive Coaching) are committed to raising the standards of coaching through professional registration and continuous professional development.

Coaching and Mentoring International are founders of the International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching & Mentoring, which is now published by Oxford Brookes University.

Coaching and Mentoring International also has close links with the University of Wolverhampton Business School who offer a Masters level degree in Coaching & Mentoring, which Coaching and Mentoring International assisted the School to develop.
