| dc.description.abstract | Research related specifically to coaching has increased gradually over the past
few years. Most of the research has revolved around executive coaching, and there
are limited research studies about certified coaches. To date, there are no studies that
specifically focus on the nature of impact of life coaching on VISTA members. In this
study of a pilot project pairing life coaches with VISTA members, five VISTA
members participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews and five VISTA
members participated in a focus group. It is clear from the research data that the
nature of impact included many areas including time management, conflict resolution
skills, objective perspectives, core values and career exploration. In addition, the
experience of having a life coach as a part of the VISTA member experience made it
more manageable and enjoyable. | en_US |
