Coaching Perspectives, the global magazine of the Association for Coaching (AC), is for coaches and those interested in coaching and leadership in all sectors, worldwide. Stimulating, thought-provoking, global in reach and mindset, it is pioneering, progressive and accessible. Each quarterly edition provides practical guidance, rich new ideas, research, in-depth articles and features on a wide range of activities, organisations and ventures pertinent to coaching. 

 

Coaching Perspectives reflects the AC culture and vision for coaching: a broad and inclusive one, which sees coaching as making a significant contribution to society and the community beyond the contractual relationship and across national boundaries. Coaching does this through creating greater awareness, greater responsibility and greater understanding of the interconnectedness of organizations, business and the societies to which they belong in a global, networked world.
