Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on coaching for learning and well-being is open to empirical contributions that explore the intersection of coaching, learning, personal growth, and well-being in diverse contexts, including education and the workplace. The focus of this Issue is on how coaching interventions foster both individual and collective development, with an emphasis on promoting personal growth and sustainable well-being. We encourage studies that examine the psychological mechanisms underpinning coaching processes, coaching relationships, the effectiveness of various coaching approaches, and their impact on learning outcomes, self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, psychological well-being, and performance. Contributions may explore coaching’s role in addressing challenges such as stress, burnout, and transitions, as well as its capacity to facilitate positive changes, including increased motivation, career development, and life satisfaction. We welcome research that draws from a variety of methodological approaches, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, and we invite cross-disciplinary perspectives that expand the current knowledge base. By bringing together diverse insights, the aim of this Special Issue is to further the understanding of coaching as a dynamic and empowering tool for fostering holistic growth and well-being in both personal and professional contexts.
