Current my interests are comprised of the following three elements: developmental assessment (psychometrics), leadership development, and executive coaching (especially, integral coaching). Although there are a lot of coaching methods in the world, I don’t know whether they are truly effective for clients or not, because there are no accurate and valid assessment tools for coaching methods themselves.
If anyone asks me like this “Is executive coaching really useful for me? Does executive coaching develop my abilities? What skills does executive coaching cultivate?” My response may be “Yes, it is. Executive coaching is useful for you. Yes, it does. Executive coaching develops your abilities. What skills? Umm…various skills!”
What an unsubstantiated and unpersuasive response… Of course, I’d like to believe that coaching provides “invisible” and “unmeasurable” values for clients, but at the same time, I’d like to represent the value of coaching quantitatively. Quantitative results are objective and fair for everyone. That’s why I need to learn developmental assessment (psychometrics).
My research result will reveal what skills are developed by coaching and how much clients develop their abilities. Lastly, I have to admit the following fact. “My research method always includes some limitations. So, my research method is not perfect but partial…”
