From Classroom to Publication: Fielding Alum Shares Coaching Tips for Modern Managers in NCURA Magazine

Lisa Kim

We proudly celebrate Lisa Kim, a doctoral student in our Organizational Development and Change Program, for her contribution to the January 2025 issue of NCURA Magazine, the flagship journal of the National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA). Her article, entitled “An Integrative Coaching Approach for Modern Managers,” explores how an integrative coaching approach can help managers navigate the challenges of remote work—an idea sparked by her experience in the HOD-847 Theoretical Foundations of Evidence-Based Coaching course in Summer 2024.

Kim said that she was inspired by the rapid transition to remote work environments, which poses unique challenges for managers in sustaining team cohesion, productivity, and morale.

Her article highlights key coaching principles—relationship-building, goal setting, emotional intelligence, and narrative coaching—to support leaders in fostering stronger teams in virtual environments. She also draws on data from the International Coaching Federation, noting that 65% of employees report higher engagement in organizations that prioritize coaching. By integrating these strategies, managers can enhance resilience and adaptability in today’s evolving workplace.

NCURA, founded in 1959, serves over 7,000 research administrators and publishes NCURA Magazine six times a year, covering topics related to research administration, management, and federal policy.

Join us in congratulating Lisa Kim on this significant achievement!
