Methodology

This survey is conducted by EMCC Global in order to understand the perception

of COVID-19 situation amongst coaching, mentoring, and supervision
practitioners with the participation of (476) people from various countries. Based
on the data obtained, ‘word cluster analysis’ and ‘correlation analysis’ are
performed and the major empirical findings are summarised as follows:
Correlations are calculated among the words used in statements of participants
with the most repetitive words based on the Euclidean distance approach. In this
respect, participants describe COVID-19 related feelings with the most frequent
words as coaching, work, anxiety, clients, working, fear, time, business, home,
and stress respectively
This indicates that COVID-19 related issues leads participants to think about their
clients. They have the most common feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear at work,
business and home. They are sensitive about the time as well
In addition cluster dendrogram indicates that there are five major categories
defined with strong correlation between them such that:
• Coaching
• Work, anxiety
• Change, issues, crisis, will, managing, new, people, management
• Client, working, fear
• Uncertainty, future, time, stress, business, home
