hande — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:22:16 +0000

2016 International Book Awards WINNER!

Our strengths can become our weaknesses. Our traits and habitual behaviours can become traps. In each chapter of The Coach's Casebook the reader follows a skilled coach working with a client who is struggling with one of the twelve traits which every coach will face in their coaching work - traits such as people pleasing, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, performance anxiety and procrastination. The coach shares their emotions, their thought processes and their reflections as they try to understand the psychological origins of these behaviours and to work out how to help their client.

This book is a great book for leader development and has been used extensively for executive leadership for results but is above all designed to help you in your work as a coach. It gives you practical, tried and tested techniques which you can use today to improve your coaching habits and coaching practice to help your clients to change the habits of a lifetime.

"Reading this book is like being a coach, a client, a supervisor, a student of coaching, and in relationship with all of those people all at once! It also achieves that remarkable thing, and rare, of being both friendly and rigorous, gentle and challenging, calm and pacey."

30 Great Coaching Tools

hande — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:20:16 +0000

In this Tools Booklet you’ll find a host of tools for use in your coaching practice. Remember however that coaching is so much more than the application of specific tools, and rather is fundamentally based on a strong coaching relationship, bringing all of yourself into the relationship. Indeed “a preoccupation with using techniques is seen as depersonalizing the relationship” (Corey, 1996). However, we hope you find this a valuable resource as you continue your work and development as a coach. This booklet summarises a number of tools, giving an overview of why the tool might be useful and practically how you would use it. Some of the tools included: Behavioural Rehearsal Creative Coaching Obstacle Analysis Grid Addressing Procrastination …Plus many more!
