In these times of unparalleled change, many organizations are exploring how coaching can be leveraged to support individuals and teams through the many changes that are occurring. Coaching is a trans-disciplinary practice that is well suited to meet the emerging needs for performance improvement, development, and transformation at the individual and team levels. In this interactive session, you will be introduced to a model that shows why coaching is the intervention of choice for driving individual, team, and organizational change and how coaching makes the connection between principles and theories, practices and processes that are at play both in coaching and in change.

The lecture is part of a series of lectures titled "Coaching - research and practice", which is sponsored by the EMCC. The lecture series aims to build a bridge between research and praxis in coaching and at the same time embed coaching practices in the research discourse. The intention is to hear from researchers, who explore coaching from a business, health or sports related angle. The Coaching Psychology Unit at the University of Copenhagen was established in order to launch and coordinate interdisciplinary research, education and dissemination in coaching.
