Synopsis
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. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
Non-directive Coaching provides a clear outline of what non-directive coaching is and how it can be used to develop and support others. The emphasis of the text is clearly focused on how coaching helps to enable others. Guidance is provided on how to use questioning and listening more effectively to guide learners to explore their own practice in depth with the aim to discover ways forward and refine their practice. What is fantastic about this book is that it also explores the value of silence and thinking time to enable the learner to reflect on practice and explore their own solutions. Strategies are explored and a direct link is made to how coaching can be used to develop others. It is a theory rich, compact read, exploring a wide range of important issues, with a clear focus on the application and how to help others. The text is extremely helpful for both the new and experienced subject/phase tutor and mentor who is keen to continue to develop and support their trainees to the best of their ability. -- Lizana Oberholzer, NASBTT
