Abstract:

What is Coaching? Can you really be a legitimate coaching professional while being a legitimate I-O professional? How does Coaching fit into the traditional I/O framework? Does it fit at all? Are I-O professionals qualified to coach? Or does it take a unique skill set to be successful as a coaching professional?

Join us this May event for a panel discussion on Coaching and I-O Psychology. Our four presenters, all of whom have backgrounds in I-O Psychology and Coaching, offer varied perspectives and share their work experiences as they tackle these questions and others that you might have!
