Purchase options and add-ons

With the first edition of this text, Peltier drew on his extensive experience in both the clinical and business worlds to create a comprehensive resource that brought psychological and coaching concepts together. It quickly became a practical and invaluable guide for both mental health practitioners looking to expand their practice into coaching and business professionals interested in improving their own coaching skills.

In this updated edition, topics reflect the latest developments in the field of executive coaching. Peltier describes several important psychological theories and how to effectively translate them into coaching strategies; essential business lessons in leadership, marketing, and the corporate viewpoint along with vocabulary for the therapist; the challenges women face as managers and executives and effective coaching methods for working with them; and lessons from successful athletic coaches that can be integrated into consulting skills. This edition includes four new chapters, one describing psychopathology likely to be encountered by coaches. Another describes and evaluates emotional intelligence, a third summarizes adult developmental theory for coaches, and a fourth sorts out the popular and scientific literature on leadership and leader development.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a rich, comprehensive book for executives as well as their coaches. I strongly recommend this text for any executive interested in understanding and enhancing innovation in a good or bad economy. - William H. Roedy, Chairman and Chief Executive, MTV Networks International

This new edition provides the conceptual basis for effective coaching and consulting. The first edition became a classic. This one is even better, with four new chapters, plus outcome data from recent research on the effectiveness of coaching methods as perceived by executives and managers. A must read. - Wilbert (Skeeter) McClure, PhD, Organizational Consultant; Olympic Gold Medalist, Boxing, Rome (1960)

For those responsible for coaching industry executives, this is a valuable work that provides not only insight into the leader, but practical wisdom when guiding that leader. - Thomas W. Rabaut, Retired President and CEO, United Defense Industries, Inc.

Easy, Honest, Insightful Read. A Coaching Bible.
5 out of 5 stars
Easy, Honest, Insightful Read. A Coaching Bible.
I got this book 5 days ago. It's a beast of a book, at 360+ pages, each page densely filled with information. It looks intimidating, but it's such an easy, honest, and insightful read. I'm only a chapter in, and I can already tell this is required reading for anyone interested in coaching. It is a true coaching bible. If you're thinking about coaching as a profession, buy this book first. (And that goes for any type of coaching since there are many transferable tenets.) I'm as coach myself and wish I had bought this book first before any of the countless coaching books I have.

    5.0 out of 5 stars MONUMENTAL !
    Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This is the best book that has ever been written on coaching. This simply is not a book, it is probably 10/15 good books put together. Nowhere near to the usual coaching stuff. This in all probably will be the best book on coaching unless Professor PELTIER will write an another one. This is a MUST read for a multitude of serious professionals, management consultants, all sorts of coaches, coaches to be and all of those who are in somewhere in the deep seas of psychology and psychiatry. I am making money out of this book directly, my anology is that there is a 100 US Dollar bill in between every single page and if you read it twice 100 Dollar bills are still there. ( I have solid 26 years of management consulting behind together with some 18 years of teaching and some 12 years of coaching behind, all running concurrently). Professor Peltier, I am more than ready to donate to your favorite charity in case you will have the chance to read this. ( necdetuygurer@hotmail.com ) Thank you, the coaching business will be an entirely different and better one if there would be just a few books like this one. Thank very much.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This book supported a paper that I am writing for publication. It provided ways for me to understand the theoretical psychological underpinings of executive coaching as a whole allowing me to synthesize the knowledge, compare the theories easily, and use it to support my research question.

    It also is an excellent presentation of research references which helped me dig deeper when necessary.

    This is an excellent resource. He explains the role of psychology for the executive coach. He reviews the different systems and how they would apply to the executive coach and how they could use them in their role as a coach. . but at the end of every chapter he Summarizes and then gives you further references and recommended readings for each chapter.

    I'm an executive coach with a background in line management and HR management. Written in a very clear and straightforward style, this book has given me the basic psychological theory underpinning coaching practice, with plenty of easily-understood examples. It will certainly broaden my repertoire of approaches to use with my coachees.
