ABSTRACT
This chapter presents critical discussions on how coaching practice itself is generating learning skills for the practitioners to develop effective coaching approaches, tools, and techniques for family businesses. It uses a systematic approach to understand the learning processes during the coaching sessions from the perspective of a coaching practitioner. The chapter proposes a theoretical framework to guide the coaching practitioner to trace learning skills from the coaching sessions. It describes activities and assessments for coaching practitioners to use in their own practice, with an aim to highlight the emergence of learning skills from the coaching practices, particularly in a family business context. The chapter distinguishes between formal and other learning opportunities and the different occasions when a coach might learn from them in different ways. It presents case study illustrating different learning opportunities at different stages in a coaching relationship including post hoc learning.
