We’re excited to launch the GSAEC Coaching Education Salon Series—an occasional gathering of thought leaders exploring pressing topics in coaching education. Our inaugural Salon will feature renowned experts David Drake and Gordon Medlock, who will delve into an integrative development paradigm for coach development and education.

David Drake’s recent publication, The Five Maturities: A New Paradigm for Coach Development, has sparked a significant conversation around the role of integrative developmental coaching in advancing coaching education. Drake (2024, p. 21) proposes that this new paradigm "transcends competency models" and "demands a deeper, more reflexive relationship with knowledge and evidence in practice" (Drake, 2011b). This aligns closely with Bachkirova’s (2016) emphasis on “developing the coach as an instrument of practice; increasing reflexivity and criticality; fostering congruence between self and practice; and nurturing ethical maturity” (p. 37).

In this GSAEC Salon, David will lead a live coaching demonstration to showcase the principles and techniques of integrative developmental coaching. Attendees will have the chance to engage in an open discussion, share insights, and pose questions about the research-backed practices that drive this approach. We’ll also explore avenues for applied research to further advance the theory and practice of integrative developmental coaching.

Join us for a rich and dynamic conversation that promises to inspire fresh perspectives on the future of coaching education!
