Reihe: Coaching and Mentoring

The KEY book for both practitioners and students. Ideal for coaches working primarily non-directively who want to develop their practice by assimilating ideas from a range of approaches.  Therapies such as cognitive behavioural coaching, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and Gestalt are examined and the author demonstrates how some of the key principles of these can be used or adapted.  

The book also looks at how non-directive coaching skills might be applied in a number of other fields, such as staff development, supervision and mediation. Reflective questions at the end of each chapter encourage the reader to think about the key issues, explore the implications and examine their own experiences.

Suitable for the range of postgraduate courses including MA, certificate and diploma courses in coaching, as well as for practitioners.
