A Research Paper By Jessica Hull
Empowerment Coach, AUSTRALIA

This research paper combines the work of developmental theorists, psychologists, and academics from all across the world. It delves into the concept of the ‘Learning Pit,’ a teaching philosophy I became acquainted with during my time as a teacher, and how it might be utilized in a coaching environment. It then goes on to explain how a coach may help to build a bridge over the ‘pit’ so that an individual’s journey is one of empowerment and enlightenment. A coach must use emotional intelligence to determine the client’s Zone of Proximal Development in order to accomplish this (ZPD). It delves deeper into the significance of feedback and explains why I believe it is the most important tool a coach can use to assist a customer on their invisible journey to success.
