Brief Coaching (Essential Coaching Skills and Knowledge)

Brief Coaching offers a new approach to coaching by considering how the client will know when they have reached their goal, and what they are already doing to get there. The coach aims to work towards the solution rather than working away from the problem, so that the client's problem is not central to the session, but instead the coach and the client work towards the client's preferred future.  This book employs case examples and transcripts of sessions to offer guidance on:   looking for resources rather than deficits exploring possible and preferred futures examining what is already contributing to that future treating clients as experts in all aspects of their lives.   This practical guide includes summaries and activities for the coach to do with the client and will therefore be a useful tool for both new and experienced coaches, as well as therapists branching into coaching who want to add to their existing skills.

The new world of work requires new ways of working together. The secret sauce for this is Team Talk. The way teams talk to each other matters more now than ever. Team members need to be able to speak from the heart and build trusting relationships on a peer-to-peer level, while at the same time producing excellent outcomes. Both can be achieved by applying Solution Focused skills.Solution Focused skills have been perfected over decades by a global community of thousands of practitioners – therapists, managers, social workers, teachers, coaches, and many more. These skills are eminently transferable and will help you in any setting, from your work in the team to the C-suite to family life. The focus of this book is on their usefulness for teams in organisations, particularly self-organised or agile teams. Excellent teams are at the heart of excellent organizations. The authors have explored why some organisations deviate from the norm in a dramatically positive way. They have come up with the recognition - proven by science - that excellent organisations are places where individuals and teams can do what they are best at every day. Team members can experience psychological safety, autonomy, mastery and purpose, often even flow, in their work lives. Solution Focused skills help create these conditions.
