Resources belonging to organizations, which have chosen coaching as a tool for individual growth and evolution and who adhere to the experimental research project.
Clients who participate in coaching courses freely choose their development goals and actions to pursue and achieve them within the timeframe set by them.
The project represents an experimental study that allows to minimize the "noise" inevitably produced in the coach / client relationship and "isolate" as much as possible the effect of coaching in the measurement.
For this purpose, an experimental group and a control group participate in the project. The members of the experimental group, after the administration of the tests, participate in individual coaching sessions lasting 9 hours (6 sessions of 1.5 hours each) at the end of which they complete the tests again. The differential between test and re-test will indicate the variations relative to the dimensions being searched.
Experimental and control group members will be matched according to the following criteria:

Producing evidence means demonstrating consistency between:
Type of protocol
The protocol is functional to the hypothesis that we want to verify.
