Developmental Coaching explores many of the common transition points
we experience throughout life, including teenage transitions, becoming a
parent, mid-life and retirement. The book sets these transitions in
their social context and reviews them in the light of generational
factors.
The book is introduced with key psychological concepts from areas such
as lifespan development and positive psychology, in addition to insights
from other disciplines, including management theory and sociology. The
main topics of discussion are:
- coaching tools and techniques
- broader societal and generational trends
- how coaching can help individuals to realise positive growth.
With case studies throughout, Developmental Coaching offers an
essential resource for practising coaches, coaching psychologists,
counsellors and other professionals who wish to further their knowledge
of the developmental aspects of coaching and dealing with life
transitions.
