Finding sources

Finding Sources is the number one priority for this article.

Books, Scholarly Articles, News Articles, etc. would be nice. I think this is a proper place for discussing possible sources both for sources and the sources themselves.

I will look in Google Scholar and Google Books for sources.--Keerllston 04:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

ChrisThomasUK 08:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC) There is good quality independent research around the usage and effectiveness of coaching in businesses at the UK Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisThomasUK (talk • contribs)

Coaching at work magazine is a good source of information regarding coaching and was started by the cipd until a buy-out a couple of years ago saw it going independant. It is not affiliated with any one coaching body and would be a useful resource for most coaches and mentors, including business, performance and life coaches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raypfree (talk • contribs) 20:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

This article don't say anything about Timothy Gallwey, who introduced the concept of coaching into use in the 70s (the book series "Inner Game") and about Sir John Whitmore, who was the main promoter of coaching in the early '90s with his book "Coaching for performance." I have the impression that the article changes the real history of coaching.Sillabus (talk) 16:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

I have responded to Sillabus below, in the section Talk:Coaching § Article try to change history of coaching. Biogeographist (talk) 18:14, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello all. My name is Michael and I'm working on a school project for co-coaching. I was wondering if anyone knows of more sources that I could use to improve the page that I am working on that ties directly to coaching. Any information that leads me to bettering the page would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Mhick027 (talk) 19:35, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Human potential coaching

I am removing the recently added section on "human potential coaching" because the cited sources do not establish that human potential coaching is notable (see, e.g., the principle of due weight and other Wikipedia content policies). The removed section stated that the human potential coaching "approach derives primarily from the person centered approach developed by Carl Rogers"—if that is true then the topic is already primarily covered in the articles on Carl Rogers and Rogerian psychotherapy. From what I can determine in a Google search for "human potential coaching", that term appears to be a brand of life coaching, and there is already a section of the article devoted to life coaching.
