Product Description

Review

This is a rich, comprehensive book for executives as well as their coaches.  I strongly recommend this text for any executive interested in understanding and enhancing innovation in a good or bad economy. - William H. Roedy, Chairman and Chief Executive, MTV Networks International

This new edition provides the conceptual basis for effective coaching and consulting.  The first edition became a classic.  This one is even better, with four new chapters, plus outcome data from recent research on the effectiveness of coaching methods as perceived by executives and managers.  A must read. - Wilbert (Skeeter) McClure, PhD, Organizational Consultant; Olympic Gold Medalist, Boxing, Rome (1960)

For those responsible for coaching industry executives, this is a valuable work that provides not only insight into the leader, but practical wisdom when guiding that leader. - Thomas W. Rabaut, Retired President and CEO, United Defense Industries, Inc.



Product Description

Coaching has become an important way for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals to adapt their skills to a changing environment. This book provides a comprehensive translation of psychotherapy theory and skills for the would-be executive coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new standard text for executive coaches?, 20 Jun 2002
By R. C. Winfield (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application (Paperback)
Normally I review books that I have discovered, and have bought for myself. The Psychology of Executive Coaching: theory and application by Bruce Peltier was sent to me by the publisher. (Definitely a habit to encourage!) Further, whereas I generally read business books, this is an academic book, packed with references and recommended readings. It was written to help psychotherapists and other mental health professionals find ways to break into the field of executive coaching, and blend their skills with the corporate environment.

I come from the corporate environment and have learned my skills through NLP and a wide reading in other applied fields, much of which has been built on the application of psychology to organisations and personal change. What Peltier has produced is a book that reviews the whole range of therapeutic psychology. In fact for a business reader it does the converse of its defined purpose and places executive coaching in the context of the source psychology. It brought me little that was new, but acted as a fascinating consolidation and revision.

For coaches interested in learning how we got to where we are, or developing or revising their coaching skils, this is a fascinating read. As well as dealing with the psychological fields of the person-centred approach, cognitive psychology, family therapy and systems thinking, hypnotic communication, social psychology and the existential stance, it covers the difference between coaching and counselling, lessons from athletic coaches, ethics in coaching and making the transition from the world of therapy to the workplace world of the corporate coach.

This is a serious, but not a difficult read. Not for the general reader, but well worthwhile to anyone who takes executive coaching seriously. It could well become a standard text on courses for executive coaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application, 5 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application (Paperback)
This is a very inspiring book that continues to help me enormously in setting up as an executive coach, and also later as a psychotherapist. Professor Peltier has obviously put a great deal of work into it as the reference source is vast.

People from academic, psychology, therapy and business backgrounds will be able to find the answers and all the relevant research texts included in a bibliography, written in the clearest manner. So, whether you are setting up as a psychotherapist or as an executive coach, you should find that this book works equally as well on both levels and maintains momentum throughout.

I recently recommended it to a friend and I wrote "I absolutely adored this book....It doesn't contain yards of academic waffle, and gets straight to the point with clear strategy and regular down to earth reminders, all constantly woven into clear business sense.

Yes, it is aimed more at those with psychology or therapy background like me, but there are also chapters on coaching ethics and making career transitions. (I bought it just for a couple of the chapters). "

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb introduction to a vast subject area, 23 Mar 2006
By PZE "ps2geneve" (Shrivenham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application (Paperback)
Bruce Peltier has produced a superb book which provides an excellent view of major psychological, and psychotherapeutic, theories and approaches in a very readable manner. The clear style with one chapter allocated to each subject means the book can be easily read in part or whole. Each chapter also has a very useful list of recommended reading for those whose appetite for knowledge is stimulated by this book. An excellent work for inexperienced coaches, and one that many experienced coaches would also benefit from reading.
