Publisher's summary

The definitive edition - updated and expanded, with access to an online toolkit.

Co-Active Coaching offers current and aspiring coaches, leaders and managers in organisations and anyone wanting to strengthen interpersonal relationships a practical yet transformative communication process called the Co-Active Model. Since its creation by the authors more than 25 years ago, the Co-Active Model and the book have formed the foundation of the authors' six-part coach training program delivered globally to tens of thousands of individuals each year through the authors' training institute, CTI.

With its origins in the coaching profession, the Co-Active Model also applies to work and interpersonal relationships because it is based on principles of effective communication backed by current scientific research. In this highly-anticipated new edition, the universal applicability of the the Co-Active Model is emphasised. It goes beyond the one-on-one coach/coachee structure to include guidance for leaders and managers on how they can add a coaching competency to their professional skill set.

New to this edition:

  • Every chapter has been updated for relevance and direct application to coaching in all of its forms, including in the workplace
  • New material covering: current neuroscience research, Co-Active approaches to leadership development and working with groups and teams
  • More examples drawn from the authors' firsthand experiences, especially in workplace settings
  • More examples of the Co-Active Model applied internationally
  • Web-based 'Toolkit' with 27 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent book for anyone interested in coaching.

This book was a great introduction into the world of coaching. I only wish there were more sample coaching sessions. It’s great for any level of coaching or if you need a review.

possible new career

the chapters that are listed in Audible do not line up with the book chapters... they are in the proper order and such but chapter 12 on the audible list may be really chapter 10 in the book itself. definitely easier to listen and follow along in book vs just one or the other.

Peaceful Wisdom

This book provides clean and clear frameworks for coaching people in them achieving better versions of themselves. It also frames up the Coach as a partner, mirror, and catalysts for the coachee’s journey and not the coach’s agenda.

It’s somewhat repetitive

I wasn’t a fan of the simplistic nature and repetition of the concepts or terms.
