The "Who Coaches the Coaches" Episode, Part II

The LDA Podcast: An Exploration of Evidence-Informed Approaches to Learning and Development

We welcome back Emma Weber for part II of our conversation about coaching. This episode focuses on the qualifications and requirements for what makes an effective coach. We start with how to go about finding a coach.

Emma offered to provide any listeners with her Assessing Coaching Capability Grid. You can get it here:

We briefly discuss Self-Determination Theory, a motivation model widely researched and used globally. You can learn more about it here: https://selfdeterminationtheory.org/

We talk about Paul Kirschner and John Sweller who have researched and talked extensively about explicit and direct instruction versus the "in the flow of work" folks like Conrad Gottfredson and Bob Mosher from 5 Moments of Need. You can learn more about the thoughts of Paul here: https://3starlearningexperiences.wordpress.com/

And 5 Moments of Need here: https://www.5momentsofneed.com/

Clark references Harold Jarche's Seek, Sense, Share: https://jarche.com/pkm/

We also talk about the professionalization of coaching. Should coaches... how can coaches... be certified? Can coaching be standardized?

And we talk about coach bots.

Of course, we end with the Best and the Worst where we discuss conference season and who attends the sessions.

Shameless plug for Matt's new book with Thiagi on LDA Press... you can pre-order it here in French or English: https://ldaccelerator.com/techniques-interactives-pour-lapprentissage

And additional shameless plug... LDA has partnered with the Center for Self-Determination Theory to produce a new, monthly podcast/ video cast where we engage with a researcher/ practitioner in the motivational psychology field about their respective work.
