A Research Paper By Jennifer Walker
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Theology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy have all explored self-acceptance. Since Buddha’s teachings over two thousand years ago, the importance of self-acceptance has been highly debated. Modern psychological theories, therapeutic approaches, and contemporary literature, all contribute to the study of acceptance. Coaching, with its philosophy of assisting clients’ self-awareness and progress, is well-positioned to contribute to these ideas by promoting the value and practice of self-acceptance as it relates to the journey of personal enlightenment and transformation.

A Research Paper By Francesca Castagnetti
Life Coach, ITALY

Ms. Maaike Rijken, an extraordinary woman and a seasoned expert in the field of psychology, was the subject of my interview. Maaike created and developed the international Positive Psychology program at the University of Applied Science in Amsterdam, where she has been delivering specific training programs for several years. Positive psychology is concerned with people’s well-being; happiness entails both fulfillment and the ability to be resilient. It’s about feeling energized, fulfilled, and uplifted, all of which are elements of happiness. Being happy can also be achieved by engaging in activities that are normally associated with happiness, such as attending a party, attending a football match for those who are interested, or engaging in any other activity that produces an immediate feeling of enjoyment.

A Research Paper By Susan Haffner

This pressing need, combined with my prior expertise, has led me to specialize in caregiver coaching. I’ve always been curious about how coaching may aid in client progress. I was curious to see how coaching could complement the tools and assistance that I provide to clients in my social work profession.

2022/05/03

A Research Paper By Ahmad Almarzooqi
Life Coach, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Emotional Intelligence (EI), sometimes known as Emotional Quotient (EQ), is a concept created by Daniel Goleman in the mid-1990s. Later, there were multiple stages of growth and research involving various schools of thought. (The assessment of an individual’s capacity to control their emotions, as well as the emotions of others, both one to one and in groups) is the greatest definition I found for EI. EI/EQ interpersonal skills in interpersonal relationships can be developed by understanding how to communicate with others and by regularly practicing and reviewing these competencies.

How to Effectively Coach Millennial Leaders

2022/04/29

A Research Paper By Dennis Carpio
Executive Coach, AUSTRALIA

This paper focuses on millennial leaders or people who have led a group of people to accomplish a goal or are in charge of an organization. We’ll discuss characteristics that distinguish them from other generational cohorts or groupings. Why millennials specifically? In the next five years, millennials will make up a significant portion of the workforce. A one-size-fits-all approach to coaching leaders from various generational groups is ineffective.
