“…Coaching focusses on solutions, not problems (Grant, 2007), and in practice, it targets students' default solution patterns, replacing them with effective problem-solving techniques. It is a learning process that can last a lifetime, but it can also be immediately impactful (Gupta et al. , 2021) – which is why it is surprising that coaching strategies largely remain theoretical in UK HE rather than being implemented as key parts of the curriculum.…”

“…Both programmes provided tangible impacts on trainees with respect to goal setting and focus, but to further develop emotional intelligence, a lengthier learning approach is essential.

PurposeThis paper explores the impact of a coach training programme in a UK higher education institution (UKHEI). This paper evaluates the use of coach training to equip undergraduate students with the skills needed to set goals and navigate stressors in personal and professional life.Design/methodology/approachAn interpretivist research design was chosen to gather detailed information about the participants. Data were collected via a multi-method approach comprising participant observations, individual reflections and surveys amongst 18 students. Each method allowed the researcher to interpret the participants' perspectives of social reality.FindingsThe inductive analysis revealed three key themes related to the impact of coach training: a greater awareness of self, enhanced relationships with others and a renewed focus on the future. The findings also showed that coach training provided students with a goal-focussed, judgement-free strategy to address issues related to university stressors such as burnout.Research limitations/implicationsThe conclusions drawn from the study are placed in the context of the wider coaching debate yet are not generalisable. They illustrate a strong link between coach training and the positive impact on the students increased sense of self, their renewed view of the world and how they want to engage with the training.Practical implicationsThe results of this study highlight the need for further research into the impact of coaching and coach training initiatives on UKHEI students. The study also proposes that coaching strategies should be embedded into the curriculum to better prepare graduates to navigate the transition from university life to professional life.Originality/valueThis paper provides empirical evidence of the positive impacts of coach training on UKHEI students. This paper contributes to an understanding of coach training's potential impact on students' engagement in, and enjoyment of, the higher education learning journey. This paper also provides a foundation for future empirical research in this area.
