With the first edition of Co-Active Coaching, Laura Whitworth and her pioneering coauthors set the stage for what has become a cultural and business phenomenon— and helped launch the professional practice of coaching. Durable and flexible, their Co-Active Coaching model has stood the test of time as a transformative communication process that co-workers and teammates, direct reports and managers, teachers and students can use to build strong, collaborative relationships. Now, in this new edition, the authors bring current their original work to reflect today’s reality: how coaching has moved beyond its initial focus on life skills to become an integral part of an organization’s toolkit for developing leaders, working with teams, and building individual competencies essential for success. 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 wide-ranging set of fresh coaching examples drawn from the authors’ firsthand experience 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 has been added to make these proven principles and techniques both practical and immediately actionable.
