The Handbook of Knowledge-Based Coaching:<\/strong> <\/strong>From Theory to Practice <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/a>Editors and contributing authors Leni Wildflower, PhD, PCC and Diane Brennan, MBA, MCC are leading consultants, educators and coach practitioners.<\/p>\n

Leni envisioned and launched Fielding Graduate University\u2019s evidence based coaching program. Diane took on leadership roles in the International Coach Federation, serving as ICF global president in 2008.<\/p>\n

From the Preface: <\/em>As coaches we have responsibilities: to master the skills of our trade, to work on the issues in ourselves that might obstruct or distort our dealings with clients, to be ethical, to acknowledge limitations and recognize boundaries, to justify the trust clients put in us. We also have a responsibility to understand the intellectual underpinnings of our fledgling profession.<\/p>\n

Some of us have an instinctive ability to draw people toward greater insight; some of us have to work at it. But we all need to understand what we do when we coach, to recognize that coaching has not sprung fully formed from the protocols of our coaching schools or the minds of individuals, however dynamic and innovative, but has grown from a rich tilth of wisdom and study.<\/p>\n

Some of this knowledge is the direct history of coaching. Much of it could be thought of as coaching\u2019s prehistory\u2014ideas developed in entirely independent fields before coaching in its modern sense was conceived of. But far from dry or dutiful, these explorations have the power to continually reignite our sense of coaching as a living practice.<\/p>\n

In each of the chapters that follow there is a progression from theory to application, studying first a model or a set of findings in the context of a particular discipline and then identifying the implications for the practicing coach. There is a mind-opening diversity in this, but also a striking unanimity. Coaching may derive from the confluence of many rivers, but it flows with its own powerful current.<\/p>\n
