ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we will survey a number of case studies that demonstrate how coaching is already being used with care and sensitivity in various contexts. Each case study highlights a particular aspect of the complexities, challenges, or rewards of using coaching in Islamic culture. They all follow the same format: brief contextual information, an exploration of the case study, and some learning points that emerged. Every case study presents some implications for coaching practice in Islamic culture. We conclude this chapter with two personal stories that demonstrate the potential transformative effect of coaching.
