Philosophy and Practice of Coaching

"Peter Webb brings us a stellar review of the wisdom literature and how he is applying this work in his coaching practice. He shares his passionate belief in the urgent need for wiser leaders to address the challenging issues of our time and offers two models coaches can use to bring forth greater wisdom in their clients." (pp. xxi-xxii)

Coaching is at a crossroads in its development as a profession and its impact on the world. The Philosophy and Practice of Coaching: Insights and Issues for a New Era is a much-needed addition to the serious coaching literature. Its chapters identify a range of very pertinent issues and challenges for coaching. >download the brochure here

The book is divided into three sections: "Foundations for Coaching", "Applications of Coaching", and "Organizations and Coaching". Each chapter follows the same format: (1) the context: a brief theoretical and operational history of the topic relative to coaching as well as the compelling need(s) addressed by the author; (2) the content: current, significant and research-based material on this topic presented with a balance of breadth and depth; (3) the connections: how the key theories cited link to coaching practices in general and in the lived experience of the author(s) (so as to unpack the "black box" of coaching in action); and (4) the consequences: the implications of the author's chapter for the further development of coaches and the future of coaching as a profession. >go to the book website here

"This book will be a springboard for taking your coaching work to the next level of excellence." --- Carol Kauffman PhD., Assistant Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School, and Director of the Coaching & Positive Psychology Initiative.
