Coaching has benefits to both researcher developers and to researchers. This section shows how coaching techniques could be used to enable researchers to be more productive, motivated and confident, and to enhance their research and overall research experience. It also gives examples of how to set up a coaching programme within an institution.
Coaching for research in UK higher education institutions, published by Vitae in 2011, highlights how coaching has the potential to enhance the doctoral researcher and research staff experience, benefitting the economy, the delivery of high quality and high impact research and the employability, health and well-being of researchers, as well as supporting the retention of researchers.
