  2. About Me • Dale Carnegie Training (since 2004) • Innovate Learning (since 2006) • EDOL alum – July, 2011

  3. What Is Grounded Theory? • Qualitative methodology • The process of developing a theory that is grounded in the experience of practitioners in the field, rather than the research literature (Leedy & Ormrod, 2005) • Useful when there is little or no prior research • Useful to study a process used by a group (Creswell, 2007)

  4. The Players • Glaser (and Strauss - originally) • You start with nothing – not prescriptive • Corbin and Strauss (2008) • Researcher discovers theory in the data through a structured process • Charmaz (2006) • How you the researcher interpret and construct theory is just as important as how study participants do

  5. Corbin and Strauss Process • Open coding • Developing categories • http://www.youtube.com/user/GrahamRGibbs#p/u/17/Dfd_U-24egg • Axial coding • Interconnecting categories • Selective coding • Decide what’s important and build the story

  6. Why I Used Grounded Theory • Limited research on executive coaching and virtually none on MBTI and coaching • Research question about process • What is the process by which executive coaches use the results of the MBTI to develop coachees? (Stachowiak, 2011)

  7. Data Collection – Stage 1 • Online survey to screened for sample population characteristics • 169 survey responses • 31 qualified for stage 2 and 26 agreed to be contacted • 15 interviews conducted • 13 women, 2 men • Representation from 8 states, Canada, and UK

  8. Data Collection – Stage 2 • The 15 participants greatly exceeded the screening requirements of the study: • Average 67.3 hours (9 hours was required) • Average 81.3% of coacheeswith P&L responsibility (50% was required) • Average 87.3% MBTI Use (33% was required) • 15 study participant interviews conducted via phone and recorded/transcribed • Grounded theory analysis completed

  9. Results

  10. Three Pieces of Advice • Start now if you can (literature review) • Perfectionism will kill you • Decide what you want from the degree
