Reviews'For coaches interested in learning how we got to where we are, or developing their coaching skills, this a fascinating read. As well as dealing with the psychological fields of the person-centred approach, cognitive psychology, family therapy and systems thinking, hypnotic communication , social psychology and the existential stance the difference between coaching and counselling, lessons from the athletic coaches, ethics in coaching and making the transition from the world of therapy to the workplace world of the corporate coach. This is a serious, but not difficult read. Not for the general reader, but well worthwhile to anyone who takes executive coaching seriously. It could well become a standard text on courses for executive coaches.'-Richard Winfield, Corporate Change from Brefi Group '...I believe that it is one of the most important coaching-related books currently available. Indeed, it strikes me as being so well-focused on its chosen market that no one should be allowed to practise as an executive coach, or as any kind of business coach, unless they can demonstrate a thorough working knowledge of almost everything in this book... Peltier explains some of the main schools of psychotherapy and shows how they can be adapted for use in the coaching context, along with tips on how to avoid potential pitfalls...the core section of the book is so good and so useful I have no hesitation in making it a Highly Recommended selection.'- Honest Abe's NLP Books Reviews, 'For coaches interested in learning how we got to where we are, or developing their coaching skills, this a fascinating read.

SynopsisCoaching has become an important way for psychotherapists and other mental health professionals to adapt their skills to a changing environment. This book provides a comprehensive translation of psychotherapy theory and skills for the would-be executive coach. It was written to help clinical mental health practitioners understand the culture and expectations of the corporate and business world, as well as how to use their hard-earned skills effectively in executive coaching. The book begins with a clear explanation of how coaching differs from counseling and how to explain this to prospective new clients. Eight chapters translate popular therapies into coaching strategies, along with a guide for assessing executives. One chapter describes the challenges women face as managers and executives and proposes effective coaching methods. Lessons from successful athletic coaches are integrated into consulting skills. Essential business school lessons in leadership, marketing, and the corporate viewpoint and vocabulary are included for the therapist seeking greater understanding of the executive's point of view. A final chapter describes how to make the transition from the world of therapy to the workplace world of the corporate coach., Many practitioners struggle to find ways to blend their skills with the corporate environment. Executive coaching, the newest wave in the field of psychology, gives psychotherapists and other mental health professionals an opportunity to do just that. In The Psychology of Executive Coaching: Theory and Application, Bruce Peltier offers practical skills and applications for professionals who want to break into the field of executive coaching, or simply to develop their skills further. This practical, how-to guide helps the reader weed through the iargon and stigmas of corporate culture, and find ways to effectively work through the issues facing today's corporations. It examines areas such as effective communication between coach and client, coaching from various perspectives, and becoming trusted and accepted by your business clients. Peltier guides the professional, through a step-by-step process, into the world of executive coaching. Clever and easy-to-read, The Psychology of Executive Coaching is an essential resource for any mental health professional working in, or wishing to break into, the field of executive coaching.
