ABSTRACT

It is important that the coach and coachee discuss a mutually agreed way of ending the process. The coach should discuss with the coachee the issues of follow-up and evaluation. The coach's role is basically a listening, clarifying one and perhaps to prompt the coachee to focus on any areas not covered by their summary and learning statement. The coach should place particular emphasis on helping the coachee to specify the healthy principles of living that they have learned and/or strengthened that they can take forwards into their lives. It is also important for the coach to give the coachee an opportunity to raise any matters of unfinished business and help the coachee to gain closure. Different coaches will have different ways of evaluating their work and there is no one way of evaluating outcomes in Rational Emotive Behavioural Coaching (REBC).
