With the first edition of Co-Active Coaching, Laura Whitworth and her pioneering co-authors set the stage for what has become a cultural and business phenomenon, and helped launch the professional practice of coaching. Their flexible Co-Active Coaching model has stood the test of time as a transformative communication process that co-workers and teammates, managers, teachers, and students can use to build strong and collaborative relationships. In this new edition, the authors reflect today's reality of how coaching has moved beyond its initial focus on life skills to become an integral part of an organization's toolkit for developing leaders. Already used as the definitive resource in dozens of corporate and professional development programs, Co-Active Coaching has been updated to include the latest terminology and a variety of fresh coaching examples drawn from the authors' firsthand experiences with thousands of international coaching trainees and clients. The power-packed Coach's Toolkit has been expanded to include more than 35 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms. And a CD containing sample audio coaching sessions, and printable forms from the Toolkit, have been added to make these proven principles and techniques practical.ContentsAbout the CDPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart I: Co-Active Coaching Fundamentals1 The Co-Active Coaching Model2 The Co-Active Coaching RelationshipPart II: Co-Active Coaching Contexts3 Listening4 Intuition5 Curiosity6 Forward and Deepen7 Self-ManagementPart III: Co-Active Coaching Principles and Practices8 Client Fulfillment9 Client Balance10 Client Process11 Integration, Application, and VisionThe Coach's ToolkitAppendix A: Organizational Impact of Co-Active CoachingAppendix B: Coaching the Team, the Organization, or the RelationshipAppendix C: Ethics and the Professional CoachGlossaryAbout the AuthorsIndex
