Integral Framework as a Systemic Foundation for Coaching

Abstract

Coaching as a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques can be founded upon different knowledge bases, or frameworks.Like positive psychology or consulting psychology, coaching utilizes theories from developmental psychologies and other knowledge bases concerning human transformation.We argue that systemic coaching is best facilitated by the integral framework that acknowledges the diversity and multi-faceted nature of human existence.Following Ken Wilber and Robert Kegan, we reconstruct and discuss integral coaching (as developed by Joanne Hunt and Laura Divine) as a systemic coaching approach that is based on integral framework.We conclude that the integral framework is needed not only for truly systemic coaching, but also for the construction of wisdom cultures that acknowledge the big picture, or systemic relationships beyond one's immediate surroundings
