Participant registration and purpose of research
The research is being undertaken by Jessica Chivers as part of her continuous professional development towards become a Chartered Coaching Psychologist. The aim of the research is to understand the experiences of women who had ‘comeback coaching’ to support their return to work after maternity leave. Specifically, the research will explore:
- What endured from the coaching experience at the follow-up point (6-24 months post cessation of coaching programme).
- If there are things not explored in the coaching at the time which in hindsight would have been useful to them.
The study will explore the experiences of 10-20 women who were coached by one of the associate coaches in the author’s business (but not by the author herself) via semi-structured interviews.
