Fielding University Press Releases Transformative Coaching: An Evidence-Based Guide

Transformational Coaching

Transformational Coaching: An Evidence-Based Guide (Fielding University Press; ISBN-13: 979-8991258029), edited by Kymberly O. Akouris and Astrid E. Emond, studies the intersection of human and organizational development for coaches, highlighting transformative opportunities that can lead to positive changes in outlook and behavior.

The authors put the discipline of coaching in the context of the range of challenges that individuals and organizations are facing in a time of rapid and unsettling change. Thoughtful coaches understand that transformation requires that we look both inside ourselves and outside to the greater world. Moving from scholarship to the practical application of the knowledge gained from this book, transformational coaching is not just about personal development but about the development of capacities that are going to be put at the service of the problems of our time. This book is a call to all coaches, teachers, and leaders to use the transformational power of coaching in the service of bettering individual life and bringing about enormous collective change in the world.

Transformational Coaching: An Evidence-Based Guide delivers on its promise,” said Charline S. Russo, Ed.D., Senior Lecturer, Organizational Dynamics, University of Pennsylvania and Board Chair-President, Graduate School Alliance for Education in Coaching (GSAEC). “The authors argue that coaching can foster transformative dynamics in both the personal, organizational, societal and global challenges facing coaching faculty and students, practitioners, and clients. They challenge us to go beyond traditional coaching techniques and delve into the deeper, systemic issues and build resilience for the work of deep and lasting change. The reader will be transformed by this learning journey.”

Transformational Coaching: An Evidence-Based Guide is now available in print for $28.95 (or $9.95 for Kindle) on Amazon. To request a review copy of the book, please contact Kaylin R. Staten at kstaten@fielding.edu or 805.898.4076.
