Futures coaching research project
We are currently researching how coaches are using the future in their practice. In 2022 LifeLab won a research grant through the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC Global) in Brussels, Belgium.
The preliminary findings were presented at the following conferences:
- 24th International Congress of Personal Construct Psychology, Padua, Italy, July 2022
- 10th EMCC Global Research Conference, virtual, September 2022
