External and internal barriers to writing, however, prevent many authors from writing for publication. This article gives an account of an intervention to provide hands-on coaching to inexperienced academic authors. Seventy four five-day workshops have been presented to over 1 000 participants from different disciplines in Southern Africa since 2005. External barriers to being published were identified through a survey of academic journal editors' experiences of common errors made by authors. Internal barriers were identified through literature as well as from reflection on practice during the course of the interventions. Two follow-up web-based surveys, after two and four years respectively, investigated the experiences of workshop participants. Survey findings reveal authors' experiences of writing and identify perceived benefits of skills learned...

However, there is limited evidence in cross-cultural coaching of the use of a CQ-based approach incorporating metacognition and experiential learning theory (ELT).Research purpose:Â This article explored the theoretical linkages, benefits and directions of CQ for enhancing cross-cultural coaching.Motivation for the study:Â Exploration of theoretical perspectives of CQ for application in cross-cultural coaching.Research design, approach and method:Â A critical interpretative synthesis research methodology was employed to identify and study key concepts. The methodology is sensitive to the emergence of meaning in a diverse body of literature from adjacent disciplines.Main findings:Â This research suggests four findings motivating a CQ-based approach for cross-cultural coaching: firstly, the re...

These coaching interventions are not optimally designed.Research purpose: The objective of this research was to investigate how a transition coaching intervention should be designed to cater specifically for people promoted into senior leadership positions.Motivation for the study: Leaders face daunting challenges when promoted into a senior position. Coaching could offer powerful support, but very little research exists on how to design a transition coaching intervention specifically aimed at supporting recently promoted senior leaders.Research design, approach and method: A constructivist, grounded theory approach using purposeful, theoretical sampling was used to identify 16 participants (recently promoted senior leaders, coaches, Human Resource [HR] partners and a line manager) from various organisations with whom open-ended interviews we...
