Review
"This book is the most thorough, comprehensive and accessible overview of key approaches to coaching yet on the market. A must for students and practitioners of coaching alike."
Dr Janice Russell, Executive and Life Coach, University of Hull
"Easy to understand and read, the Handbook of Coaching provides a comprehensive coverage of the key areas in coaching and is a good introduction to the subject matter. As a single reference it sets the standard for its breadth of coverage of the field of coaching." - Dr Caroline Horner, Director, i-coach Academy
"A fascinating, timely and comprehensive text... This is a great resource for coaches of all persuasions. It is the most comprehensive handbook that I know, and it is one that I expect to cherish for a long time to come." - Prof David Megginson, Sheffield Hallam University
Product Description
This comprehensive guide to coaching explores a full variety of coaching theories, approaches and settings, and offers strategies for the reader to identify and develop a personal style of coaching. The book is divided into three parts:
- Part One explores the theoretical traditions that underpin the foundation for coaching such as cognitive-behavioural, Gestalt and existential.
- Part Two covers applied contexts, formats or types of coaching such as life, executive, peer, team and career coaching.
- Part Three focuses on professional issues that impact the coach such as ethics, supervision, continuing professional development, standards and mental-health issues.
Written by leading international authors, each chapter makes explicit links between theory and practice and generic questions will facilitate further reflection on the topic. There are also suggestions for reading, and short case studies.
This is the first book to explore the differences between the theoretical perspectives of coaching and the links between these perspectives in relation to contexts, genres and media of coaching.
