About this listen

 The definitive edition - updated and expanded, with access to an online toolkit.

'The bible of coaching guides...No other book gives you the tools, skills, and the fundamentals needed to succeed in these delicate relationships.' Stephen R. Covey, Author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Co-Active Coaching offers current and aspiring coaches, leaders and managers in organisations and anyone wanting to strengthen interpersonal relationships, a practical, yet transformative communication process called the Co-Active Model. Since its creation by the authors more than 25 years ago, the Co-Active Model and the book have formed the foundation of the authors' six-part coach training program delivered globally to tens of thousands of individuals each year through the authors' training institute, CTI.

With its origins in the coaching profession, the Co-Active Model also applies to work and interpersonal relationships because it is based on principles of effective communication backed by current scientific research. In this highly-anticipated new edition, the universal applicability of the the Co-Active Model is emphasised. It goes beyond the one-on-one coach/coachee structure to include guidance for leaders and managers on how they can add a coaching competency to their professional skill set.

New to this edition:

· Every chapter has been updated for relevance and direct application to coaching in all of its forms, including in the workplace
· New material covering: current neuroscience research, Co-Active approaches to leadership development and working with groups and teams
· More examples drawn from the authors' first-hand experiences, especially in workplace settings
· More examples of the Co-Active Model applied internationally
· Web-based 'Toolkit' with 27 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms

Full of very useful information on coaching. Especially liked the role plays, this provided perfect examples on how to use the course material. Would be nice to just have a little bit of humour thrown in now and then just to liven it up a bit. This will most likely be my "go to" coaching bible.

Great Coaching Material

The content structure seems to be like a continuous essay with mostly opinions and principles with very little to no mention of factual references or studies. The audio book has no useful descriptions for chapter titles which makes it even more difficult to follow. Five chapters in and it still felt like an intro on coaching and co-active coaching with little new, useful and practical bits to take away. I've read several coaching books and you want to improve your skills in coaching, look elsewhere. If you really want to learn about co-active coaching, buy the physical book instead.

Long winded, hard to follow

didn't learn anything new, sounds like an academic essay, no practical examples.a complete waste of time and money.
