Dominik Godat: Social Constructionist Coaching, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book provides an accessible exploration of Social Constructionist philosophy, and a user-friendly guide to the practice of InterActional Coaching. It also introduces Reflective and Deliberate Practice methodologies, guiding readers on how to grow themselves as coaches and achieve mastery within the professional coaching landscape.

The authors offer developmental opportunities and practice options for coaches that are mindful of the diversity of clients' experiences, contexts, and desired outcomes and benefits. They offer insights into the application of InterActional coaching in a variety of coaching niches and contexts, including leadership, executive, and life coaching. A chapter is also devoted to how coaches aspiring or needing to secure coaching accreditation can navigate the application and renewal processes with accreditation agencies such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). Readers can actively engage with practical exercises, case studies, and reflective activities to connect the abstract worlds of philosophy, epistemology and methodology with the concrete worlds of everyday coaching practice. Attention is given to continuous professional and personal development (CPPD) in general, as well as learning about InterActional coaching. The compatibility of Social Constructionist InterActional coaching with mainstream coaching accreditation agencies' requirements is made transparent and hence navigable.

This book is a must have for coaches seeking an ethical, inclusive coaching approach that focuses on collaboration and interaction and responds to the worlds that coaching clients navigate in their daily lives. It invites a diverse audience including coaches, allied professionals, academics and researchers to find their place and contribute to the evolving professional coaching landscape.
