Long recognized as a key ingredient for success, professional coaching is a fundamental element to any winning game plan. In the world of business, just as in the world of sport, a skilled coach can instill a sense of optimism and hope, giving adults the tools they need to evolve and to perform at higher levels--and to become more competent on the job and fulfilled in their personal lives. The Handbook of Coaching offers working and aspiring coaches a complete guide to the rapidly emerging field of professional adult coaching and a comprehensive resource for helping professionals develop winning traits in the business and personal arenas.
In The Handbook of Coaching, renowned consultant, trainer, and coach Frederic Hudson presents an introduction to professional coaching competencies by identifying the critical knowledge areas, skills, and techniques required and summarizing the major coaching theories from experts in the field. Hudson reveals how professional coaches challenge their clients, no matter what their age, to stay centered in their sense of purpose--producing remarkable results such as a renewal of spirit, enhanced resilience, improved performance, and honed leadership and collaboration abilities.
Written for coaches at all levels of experience, human resource professionals, executives, and and anyone interested in coaching, The Handbook of Coaching offers a complete compendium for building, developing, and strengthening the skills needed to transform organizations and empower new leaders.
