Abstract

This research examines the emergence, nature, and potential of community coaching-based strategies. Through a case study approach, and associated methods, community coaching purposes, activities and practices are identified and a definition of community coaching is established. Possible implications of a community coaching-based delivery strategy for Extension systems undertaking community development initiatives are advanced, as are opportunities for future research.
