Discover what's new in this classic work that helped define the field of coaching.
With
the first edition of CO-ACTIVE COACHING, Laura Whitworth and her
pioneering coauthors set the stage for what has become a cultural and
business phenomenon--and helped launch the professional practice of
coaching. Durable and flexible, their Co-Active Coaching model has stood
the test of time as a transformative communication process that
co-workers and teammates, direct reports and managers, teachers and
students can use to build strong, collaborative relationships. Now, in
this new edition, the authors bring current their original work to
reflect today's reality: how coaching has moved beyond its initial
focus on life skills to become an integral part of an organization's
toolkit for developing leaders, working with teams, and building
individual competencies essential for success.
Already used as
the definitive resource in dozens of corporate and professional
development programs, CO-ACTIVE COACHING has been updated to include
the latest terminology and a wide-ranging set of fresh coaching
examples drawn from the authors' firthand experience with thousands of
international coaching trainees and clients. The power-packed Coach's
Toolkit has been expanded to include more than 35 exercises,
questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms. And a CD containing
sample audio coaching sessions and printable forms from the Toolkit has
been added to make these proven principles and techniques both
practical and immediately actionable.
