Abstract
Drawing on interviews and authoethnography, this paper argues that chronotopes
offer a novel approach to deconstructing the dialogical exchange between coach
and coachee. Chronotopes shape coaching conversations through specific language
use. Chronotopes are aesthetic, literary devices referring to timespace that
configures different contexts. While there are a multitude of chronotopes, the
‘Travel’, ‘Pragmatic’ and ‘Romantic’ chronotopes are focused on in this paper.
These are present in the language of coaching, articulated in concepts including
maps, tools and feeling. Critically, these chronotopes dynamically interact, creating
opportunities for new coaching vocabularies that enable coach and coachee to
escape from a monological time-space.
