Panel Session: Expanding the boundaries of ethical thinking

About Panel Session

The coach as a scientist-practitioner in practice is a process of inquiry. In this process, the coachee is a participant of the research into their own life. The qualitative research paradigm can therefore apply to the coaching conversation. Typically, qualitative research consists of semi-structured interviews. The interaction between the researcher and participant stops at the end of the interview. The ethics application stage usually requires researchers to ensure that they do no harm to their participants at the end of the interview without further intervention, but to simply provide them with information on a briefing sheet to seek further help. Is this ethical and to whose benefit? An exception is action research which does involve intervention in the process. A coaching conversation can be action research in practice. This panel session welcomes participants to explore the common ethical issues for researchers (confidentiality, harm, deception and the choice of interventions) further for developing innovative research and ethical practice in coaching beyond its conventional boundary.

Introduction

The introductory presentation will include the key arguments about coaching as a research inquiry process in practice, the role of coaches and coaching psychologists (Law, 2019). Using narrative coaching as an exemplar and research process as a metaphor for coaching conversation (Law, 2000; Berman & Brown, 2000), the significant moment of change (SMOC) also known as the aha moment, can be located at the evaluation stage. This moment is likely to occur when both the coachee and coach reflect on their conversation, the coachee’s learning could then scaffold across the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1962), with Motivation and Anchoring a new plan of action (Stelter, 2012).
