Professional Coaching

Coaching-Experten schildern die Grundlagen von Professional Coaching:

• Was zählt für ein lösungsorientiertes Coaching?
• Welche Rolle spielt Psychologie in der Praxis? 
• Was meint systemisches Coaching oder Coaching mit Humor?
• Wie wird eine Coachinghaltung entwickelt?

Die Autoren beleuchten auch die Bedeutung und Funktionen von Coaching als Beratungsansatz und Führungskonzept in Organisationen. Darunter die Methoden „Konfliktcoaching" und „Coaching und authentische Führung".

The current rapid growth in the coaching domain is accompanied by increasing professionalization, which is also reflected in the proliferation of coaching-related offerings in further and continuing education. A new generation of coaching experts is leaving the ideological turf warfare of the coaching pioneers behind and is primarily interested in a pragmatic, modern and scientifically well-grounded approach: Professional Coaching.

The goal of Professional Coaching is to support people in their professional work and development. Professional Coaching is very well suited to the features of postmodern organisations (networks, weak hierarchies, employees with special expertise that have to find their own solutions to problems, etc.). Therefore, Professional Coaching is becoming increasingly important not only for providers of consulting services but also as a key competence for executives and human resources staff in companies.

This book offers current and future coaches, personnel managers and executives a first-rate introduction to and overview of the state of the art of contemporary coaching. This is the first reference work on the new pragmatic approach to coaching that is currently permeating the coaching scene and that is in great demand among future coaches. Leading experts in the filed outline the conceptual and methodological foundations of Professional Coaching. They provide insight into the importance, functions and methods of coaching in organisations, and they take the reader step-by-step into the various sub-domains of Professional Coaching. They also provide detailed instructions on both classic and innovative interventions and coaching formats.
