The Chronicle Of Coaching
The Chronicle of Coaching provides a snapshot of what’s happening in the coaching profession, and is updated weekly. Compiled and edited by Ruth Ann Harnisch, Christine Heinrichs, and Linda Ballew.
In this week’s Chronicle: We didn’t see any examples of coaching making front-page news this week. No major trends emerging, unless you count the number of blogs by and for coaches. Blogs explore how coaches create winning players and teams, tackle the thorny question of whether coaching is a placebo, offer a guide for growing into adulthood. Meet a physician's assistant developing her coaching skills and a professional speaker's coach who found her own motivational fire.
A new book guides personal self-coaching, a business coach advises virtual assistants who want to grow their businesses and a coaching company introduces super-short visual modules.
And as always, if we missed anything, let us know at info@thefoundationofcoaching.org

Historical facts from the evolution of coaching
Historical facts from the evolution of coaching
If the world of coaching is represented as a tree, philosophy is its taproot, a straight tapering root that forms a center from which other roots sprout. According to Mannion (2005, p. xxi), philosophy means ‘love of wisdom’ from the ancient words Philos (love) and Sophia (wisdom).
Wikipedia says that “at one time most of the professions existing today were the province of philosophy, which is the foundation upon which all other fields of thought are based. Language is the principal tool of the philosopher and is the act of constantly improving one's understanding by means of thinking and dialogue.”
Much like coaching, philosophy addresses complex issues from all facets of life and uses language as a primary tool – being an expert on all of philosophy [or coaching] would entail being an expert on all of the most fundamental questions which life has to offer.
