Chapter Eight: Conclusions and recommendations
8.9 Personal reflections
The reflexive process of observing myself as I have been completing this research has been extremely useful in developing my interpretivist approach. The separation from my role in GSK that the role of researcher has been challenging but ultimately very rewarding. To keep this separation, I have found myself continually having to pull myself back to
researcher role as distinct from work role, to catch and stop myself from saying ’we’ as this was a clear indication to me of where I inadvertently slipped back into my work role. At times during the research it was tempting to ignore the not-so-positive comments, or to discard the negative responses to the efficacy of the coaching. My challenge was to choose to see these for what they are in reality, all data, and as such, all valuable with no
judgement attached. This reflexivity enabled me to take a fresh look at my GSK role and work – the objectivity that being both an insider researcher and a student again was highly refreshing and energising for me.
At times, I did find myself overwhelmed with the enormity of the data analyses and interpretation and the constant feeling of being a small boat on a very rough sea was an analogy I kept coming back to, with feelings of euphoria when a chapter was completed, followed by a deep trough of recognition of the enormity of the task when I commenced the next chapter. The process has taught me self-discipline and the value of going into
154 depth on a topic that is highly meaningful – that of the application of coaching in various forms, for the development of people and organisations. I am sharing my findings and experiences at various conferences during 2016 and plan to publish articles based on my research in 2017.
