BEWARE! THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS ARE REPEATED! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO RAMP THIS BOOK! - Rated BEWARE THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS ARE REPEATED! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO RAMP THIS BOOK BY REPEATING THE SAME REVIEWS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE AVERAGE STAR RATING! I Use This As a Master-Level Coaching Text Book - Rated This book is written as university-level textbook on the coaching profession. It covers what coaching is and how it is used in business today, particularly in Australia the Author's setting. The authors provide coaching models and do a thorough job of describing the core issues and skills of which coaches must be aware. Part one of the book defines coaching as "a conversation, a dialogue, whereby a coach and coachee interact in a dynamic exchange to achieve goals, enhance performance and move the coachee forward to greater success" (page xiii). They write of what coaching is, and is not, and what are the qualities of a successful coach. Part two describes business coaching, executive coaching, the manager as coach and team coaching. Each is addressed in a separate chapter with helpful information, tools, and tips on the "how-tos" of coaching that particular client. These chapters are rich in advise on what to watch out for and pay attention to when working with a certain type of client. Part three speaks to coaching skills and issues. One chapter starts out as goal setting and then backs up to the client purpose, vision and values as a base for establishing goals. The coach can surface greater perspective and awareness in the client by using helpful tools to assess these three areas of client's life. I believe this is one of the most valuable aspects of coaching, only recently acknowledged by professional coaches (Life Coaches knew this all along) as the key to improving client performance. Other chapters deal with, by now, standard coaching skills such as listening, questioning, non-verbal communication, learning styles, resistance to coaching, and self-limiting beliefs. This book is an excellent source for the nature and practice of coaching. The authors have incorporated many other coaches' techniques into their text. Coaching books will always have the limitation of being written word and not live dialogue. It is impossible to gain the skills of coaching through any book. However, for the beginner or intermediate coach, the coaching issues, tips and advice in this book are well worth the price. A Solid Framework for Coaching - Rated If you are looking for a solid framework for professional coaching this complete coaching resource text is a must. While I am already coaching, this book was very helpful to me. In this book you are presented coaching, tips and traps and a great range of templates. It is presented in an easy to read format that allows this information to be intergreated into a professional coaching practice - this is not just a book to read it is a blueprint to take action on. Engaging, informative, comprehensive - Rated This book contains a wealth of information about coaching --its history, its relation to other disciplines, particularly psychology and adult learning principles. The book is thoroughly researched and highly readable.The authors have incorporated their own wealth of experience into the text and this serves to make the sometimes 'abstract' notion of coaching 'real'. The book provides detailed guidelines for how to conduct coaching sessions and a coaching cycle, both for one-to-one and team coaching. This information is invaluable for practising coaches. Coaching is also clearly delineated from other similar disciplines. This book is highly recommended for coaches, HR professionals, buyers of coaching services and indeed, anyone who is interested in change and personal and professional development. Too Generic - Rated I found this book too generic and repetitive. It covers many different types of coaching, and for each the same (seemingly) coaching skills are covered. I found the book so general, that it bored me. I was also disappointed to see only reference to assessment tools one could use, not any specific samples that one could use. Indeed, the authors mention assessment materials that they use, but don't even show them.
