Brief Coaching: A Solution Focused Approach

by Chris Iveson, Evan George, Harvey Ratner

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 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.

Good book about coaching with solution focused Brief-methodology. Has some exercises that you can use for training coaching skills. Also has examples of coaching conversations. This book wasn't easy reading but it was worth the effort. Still I can't say I really enjoyed reading this book but I enjoyed learning Brief Coaching with this book.

Well, that's my all time favourite SF book... I have even worked on its translation into Hungarian, the translated book is just before becoming available. The book starts and is built upon the de Shazer/Kim Berg basics and also makes fine-tuning innovations...
