Editorials
From the Publisher
"It's great to get different perspectives on coaching.Very often we get stuck in a groove with our clients, so having 50 different ways to shirt our thinking can transform situations." — Kate Burton, professional coach and best-selling co-author of Neuro-Linguistic Programming for Dummies and Building Self-Confidence for Dummies"I love the fact that I can either dip in to find a suitable tool for a given coaching scenario OR have the option to create a whole coaching process." — Carolyn Trafford, Reflections Coaching
Praise for the previous edition:
"There are far more managers who agree that coaching is an effective tool for empowering employees and directing organizational change than there are managers who know how to provide effective coaching. This book is a manual for those who need guidance in managing the coaching process. Simple chapters with accompanying charts, graphs, and step-by-step instructions provide useful, practical advice to help those who want to guide improvement in their organizations. The book ties changing performance to changing behaviors, and how that can be accomplished by good coaching practices."

"I found the coaching self-assessment, establishing contract rules, action plan, listening levels, questioning techniques, and challenging negative thought patterns especially useful... Excellent resource!" —Ed Nottingham, PhD, author of It's Not as Bad as It Seems
