Just a heads up to all of our members - we will be moving our offices from the east coast to the west coast this fall. Once our move is completed, we will notify all members of our new address and phone number. Stay tuned.

International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring

An outstanding resource on Evidence Based Coaching is the International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring, hosted on the Oxford Brooks Business School website at:

http://www.business.brookes.ac.uk/research/areas/coachingandmentoring/

The Journal allows free access and is an international peer reviewed journal. It attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice by providing evidence-based articles at the forefront of developments in the coaching field and a discussion platform for coaching practitioners seeking to validate their practice.

Unfortunately, the Journal is only published twice a year - in February and August. It really deserves more attention than it gets.

To submit new papers, please refer to their submission guidelines:
