This is episode 1090 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen with a special episode that honors the life, legacy, and contributions of professor Anthony Grant PhD, the father of evidence-based coaching.
Professor Anthony Grant (1954-2020) is often credited as ‘the father of evidence-based coaching” and in 2000 he “established the world’s first Coaching Psychology Unit at the School of Psychology at The University of Sydney.” (Grant, 2020). As director of the Coaching Psychology Unit, Anthony Grant made great strides toward establishing the efficacy of evidence-based coaching. He collaborated widely with colleagues at Sydney University and researchers worldwide. Through his focused attention, research, teaching, and collaborations, Anthony has supported the development of the evidence-based coaching industry, and his impact on the industry continues today. In academia, a scholar's contributions and community significance is often captured by academic key performance indicators: for example, SemanticScholar shows that Professor Grant has 111 publications of record, eight books, 27 book chapters, and over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles, and more research is being published that was started before his death.
The episode explores Professor Grant's life contributions and a new article written by Severin Sorensen, M.Phil., and Nathalie Lerotic Pavlik, MSc, MBPsS, "Towards Evidence-Based Coaching Practice: “Taking Out the Sham, and Putting in the Wham” – Honoring the Life, Legacy, and Research of Professor Anthony Grant, PhD." In the article, we review several findings in Professor Grant's coaching research that informs the coaching practice today. We explore themes like, When is coaching best practice actually bad practice? How can coaching research inform coaching practice?
