 Entrepreneur's resilience development in one-to-one resilience coachingSanteri Halonen International Journal of Innovation and Learning, 2025, vol. 38, issue 4, 490-514 Abstract: An entrepreneur's ability to learn and apply what has been learned is the essence of entrepreneurship. The changes arising from external factors together with a rapidly changing business environment and customers' preferences require foresight and resilience from the entrepreneur. This study explores the impact of resilience coaching on the development of entrepreneurs' resilience. The data comprises coaching session and follow-up material from five entrepreneurs, including one to six coaching sessions with each entrepreneur along with sessions notes and entrepreneurs' self-assessments. The findings indicate a seven-factor framework consisting of resilience elements such as anticipation, mental and physical resources, networks, vision, and competence development. Resilience coaching strengthens the entrepreneur's resilience, enhances foresight skills and sharpens the entrepreneur's competence development. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial resilience and provides a practical framework for resilience coaching in the Nordic context.
