This Executive Summary highlights key components of the comprehensive set of academic standards for executive and organizational coaching programs developed by a working committee commissioned by the Graduate School Alliance for Executive Coaching (GSAEC). It provides a brief overview of the academic standards initiative within GSAEC followed by a summary of 20 academic standards organized into four major sections (i.e., Organizational Alignment, Program Review, Engagement & Growth, Quality & Sustainability).

The full documentation which includes over 100 pages of descriptions of each standard, relevant sub-standards, and references will be available shortly.
Comments, suggestions and inquiries may be directed to either of the committee’s co-chairs:
