Coaching for Change

Coaching for Change introduces a model that shows why coaching is the intervention of choice for driving organizational change. The book helps you understand the principles and theories, practices and processes that are at play both in coaching and in change. A number of coaching and change models are explored with the goal of integrating them into a framework that can be applied to the individual, team or organization.

The book explains the theories behind both coaching and change, and includes practical sections on developing coaching skills. A companion website supports this book as a learning tool, featuring a curriculum, instructor guides, powerpoint presentations and more.

Coaching for Change is a valuable book for students on coaching, change management or organizational development courses, as well as professionals who want to develop their skills to drive successful change within their organizations.
