This is episode 1099 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen and guest Dr. Vikki Brock, PhD, MCC. Vikki is an executive coach, an ICF Master Certified Coach, consultant, mentor, and author of The Sourcebook of Coaching History. In 1995 Vikki left her 21-year career at The Boeing Company to start VB Coaching and Consulting. Today she is an ICF Master Certified Coach, consultant, and mentor. She earned her Executive MBA and a Ph.D. in Coaching and Human Development. When she was coaching, she brought wisdom, experience, and research-based processes to move leaders and individuals to higher stages of personal awareness and effectiveness. Vikki encouraged her clients to take “their leadership and their life to the next level” in a challenging yet non-judgemental way. Vikki is the author of The Sourcebook of Coaching History, “a comprehensive review of the historical roots of coaching and the influence of pioneers from related fields.” Vikki was closely involved with the early founders of modern coaching: Thomas Leonard and Laura Whitworth. Vikki was an early member of ICF (member #60) and since its creation in 1996 , she was one of the first coaches to receive an MCC from the ICF in 1998. She also was on faculty for the University of Texas at Dallas Coaching Certificate program, and taught for several coach training schools internationally. In this episode, we explore Vikki's journey into the coach field, her experiences in the growth of the coaching industry, and her passion for interviewing 170 coaching practitioners and scholars as the basis for her Sourcebook on Coaching History.
