Abstract

Executive coaching is a popular leadership development intervention. Despite the popularity, our understanding of how executive coaching facilitates learning and development is under-researched. We addressed this research gap by exploring ‘how business leaders interpret their executive coaching experience?’ by IPA as the research methodology. Purposively selecting three coachees and two coaches, we conducted two semi-structured interviews with each participant. The data analysis revealed that executive coaching helped coachees to ‘become independent learners’ and ‘coaches of themselves and others. These findings also establish an enhanced understanding of how coaching may facilitate leadership learning and development.
