Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second in a series of five books. Part 1, "Definitions and Models for Personal Coaching and Counseling" is about what Personal Coaching is and offers a survey of the most popular models for Coaching. Part 2, "Techniques for Personal Coaching and Self Coaching" introduces you to the most powerful coaching techniques in use. Part 3, "Essential Knowledge for Personal Coaches", highlights the knowledge and skills that are indispendable for anybody who is considering life coaching as a career or as a serious self coaching process. Part 4, "Empowering Coaching and Crisis Interventions", helps lay counsellors, relatives and friends of people in need to discover empowering techniques for supporting the people around them that find themselves afflicted by crisis. Part 5, "When Every Word Matters", is about creating and expressing an attitude of empathy, which will prove useful every time when the way we see and experience things is different from the way our interlocutors do and is particularly interesting as a guide for communicating with persons who are suffering from a psychosis. Dean Amory's Coaching Guide is an invaluable and practical standard reference work and training manual for anybody who takes life coaching seriously, be it as a means to enhance their own life through self-coaching, or as a professional life coach. The five books - "Definitions and Models of Coaching", "Coaching Techniques", "Essential Knowledge for Coaches", "When Every Word Matters" and "Empowering Coaching and Crisis Interventions" - together form a comprehensive, highly accessible and easily navigable training program and workbook that is very transferable to the every day practice and by far the most practical coaching source available today.
