Description: This study explores coaching leaders of teams from the perspectives of business coaches. The conceptual framework integrated the stages of learning with the coaching stages to examine their interrelationships. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight business coaches located from coaching websites. Their responses were analyzed qualitatively by coding the data to identify major themes and their features. There is not a clear delineation between the interactive stages of learning and the coaching stages. Coaching interventions focus on continuous improvement by taking the cyclic coaching stages to more complex levels to facilitate awareness and build competencies, as the developmental learning stages evolve at deeper levels. The value of coaching is its ability to facilitate learning by expanding awareness and shifting performance to higher levels while achieving goals that are linked to organizational benefits. Business coaches model a process for their clients to adopt a coaching leadership style within their organizations.
