In a competitive Higher Education (HE) landscape, universities face the challenge of developing an organisational culture that supports the needs of its staff and students. The traditional staff development approach has been the attainment of skills through teaching and the completion of certificates of learning. This article challenges that practice and seeks to make the case for a renewed focus on the importance of learning through individual and group coaching practice to be ingrained into universities, shifting from a view of staff development purely as the acquisition of skills through training and teaching and moving towards
engaged learning.
