The Process of Highly Effective Coaching

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A thoughtful, insightful book. A must-read for serious coaches. A 'positive disrupter' for broadening one's coaching mindset. Brilliant connection of psychological theories to coaching. Memorable conversational framework within which coaches can move. Brimming with distinctions, based on research, and supported with robust examples of appropriate and contextual coaching conversations, this book brings up nuances in coaching mastery that will benefit new and seasoned coaches."

"Building on the introduction of his Foursquare Coaching Framework (FsCF) in Coaching as a Leadership Style, Robert Hicks provides a unique journey from psychological theory to master of the coaching art. The Process of Highly Effective Coaching integrates theories from Socrates to Berne, Rogers, Schoen, and many others with the practical, non-linear framework of the FsCF model, which allows coaches to transform from linear thinkers to master coaching practitioners."

"The Process of Highly Effective Coaching leverages what we know about the psychology of individual change and makes it accessible in a practical coaching framework. Dr Hicks illustrates that there are multiple viable options for navigating the coaching conversation and that exercising effective judgement depends on an understanding of the underlying theory, evidence-based practices, and the overall conversational landscape. This book goes beyond tools and techniques to enable the development of informed practitioners."

"Robert Hicks's Foursquare Coaching Framework offers both new and experienced coaches an elegant model for making informed decisions about how to proceed in a coaching engagement. Each chapter discusses a facet of the model in detail with a clear grounding in research. Hicks discusses aspects of the coach's self-talk to address potential biases and habits. The model supports a client-centered dialogue. Overall, a useful addition to a professional coach's library."
