RIP The Coaching Commons

It is indeed sad to see the end of The Coaching Commons – an outstanding resource for keeping coaches informed about the latest developments in the coaching profession. Luckily, Ruth Ann Harnisch has archived almost all of the content and intends to keep the site online indefinitely. The archive has numerous podcasts, videos , research reports and other articles worth examining. A sincere Thank You and Good Bye to The Coaching Commons.

Quote From Article:

The natural life of the Coaching Commons is ending…

The independent space the Coaching Commons hoped to create back in the dinosaur days is a click away on Facebook now. Coaches can meet there, exchange news there. If a controversial topic in coaching arises, someone will create a Facebook page about it, and that’s where people will meet to discuss it.

The Coaching Commons is simply not needed – the void it was born to fill no longer exists.

So the natural life of the Coaching Commons is ending, but not without boundless gratitude to the readers, the writers, and those who provided the breath, the heart, and the soul of connection for all these years.
