For coaching to grow as a profession, scientific research is essential. Research allows coach practitioners to base their interventions on empirically peer-reviewed findings and not mere intuition. At Stellenbosch Business School we are serious about contributing to the professionalisation of coaching by conducting internationally relevant research on the nature and efficacy of coaching.
