Members of the academic team at The International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at Oxford Brookes University are actively involved in writing for practitioners. Our aim is to stimulate practitioner and stakeholder debate about the values and effectiveness of practice and rigorous coaching research.

The staff of The International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at Oxford Brookes support students in pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding of coaching practice.

The International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies is well-known in the coaching world for two successful conferences that we lead yearly. The first is the Annual Coaching and Mentoring Research Conference that began in 2004: https://www.brookes.ac.uk/iccams/conferences-and-events/annual-coaching-and-mentoring-research-conference/. The second is the International Conference in Coaching Supervision: https://www.brookes.ac.uk/iccams/conferences-and-events/8th-international-conference-on-coaching-supervision/, which in alternative years becomes Coaching Supervision Colloquium.
Many organisations that introduce coaching programmes wish to ascertain the value these programmes provide for the organisation. Our team is experienced in small and large scale methodologies designed to establish the extent of the contribution coaching programmes provide.
Here us an example of such evaluation at the London Deanery: Bachkirova, T., Arthur, L. and Reading, E. (2015). Evaluating a coaching and mentoring programme: Challenges and solutions, International Coaching Psychology Review, 10(2), pp. 175-189. We also contribute to reports produced by various professional bodies.
