This multilayered framework, based on the self and self–development, is a result of the latest thinking and research in the field. Working through the book, readers can learn how to reflect, become emotionally, socially and culturally aware, give and receive feedback, and self–evaluate. A wide range of tools and exercises are provided to implement the techniques described.
This practical guide demonstrates how individuals and organisations across cultures can easily apply the principles and techniques of coaching and mentoring. it is essential reading for psychologists, coaches, mentors and any senior executives and managers responsible for designing and evaluating effective coaching, mentoring and/or training programmes in their organisations. It is also a valuable resource for students of psychology who are considering a career in coaching, mentoring and training.
