Rather than focus on the actions of the coach, this handbook places
relationships―to one's self and to others―at the heart of the coaching
activity. Beginning with an explanation of relational coaching,
including its principles and practices, this account goes on to describe
the evolution of the relational turn in executive coaching. Based on the
descriptions of robust pieces of research into what works in coaching,
which were carried out in three different countries―the United States,
Canada, and the UK―this book brings sophisticated psychological thinking
to the business context of executive coaching, thus deepening the
experiences of being an executive coach in the modern marketplace.
