The International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring is a free access, international peer reviewed journal, which is published bi-annually online in February and August. The aim of the journal is twofold: firstly, to provide evidence-based, well-researched resources for students, professionals, corporate clients, managers and academic specialists who need to be at the forefront of developments in the field; and secondly to offer an accessible yet powerful discussion platform for the growing number of coaching and mentoring practitioners seeking to validate their practice.

The International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring is divided into four sections:

The Editorial section addresses items of contemporary interest and provides an introduction to the articles in the current issue.
The Academic Papers section, which includes well researched papers of between 3,000 and 6,000 words on any aspect of coaching and mentoring.
The Reflections from the Field section that offers a platform for contributors to give an account of their experience of, or to express views on, a particular issue or development in Coaching and Mentoring, including those raised in earlier issues of IJEBCM. As such, it can inform or stimulate further research or development.
The Book Reviews section comprises short reports (500 - 600 words) on relevant coaching and mentoring publications.

Papers for publication in the journal should be submitted to the editor, Dr. Elaine Cox, via email: ecox@brookes.ac.uk

Please refer to the Guidelines for Contributors prior to submission. Book reviews are also welcome.

Response:
The basic meta-model questions from NLP are good examples.

In response to "I can't" statements many people try to help by asking "Why?" or "Why not?"

NLP trained coaches would probably ask

"What stops you?"
"What would happen if you did?"
"How do you know?"
"When was the last time you did?
