Hawkins and Turner argue that coaching needs to step up to deliver value to all the stakeholders of the coachee, including those they lead, colleagues, investors, customers, partners, their local community and also the wider ecology. Systemic Coaching contains key chapters on how to contract in various settings, how to work relationally and dialogically, how to expand our own and others' ecological awareness, how to get greater value from supervision, work with systemic ethics and expand our impact. While illustrating why a new model of coaching is necessary, Hawkins and Turner also provide the tools and approaches that coaches and clients need to deliver this greater impact, accompanied by real-life case examples and interviews from the authors and other leading coaches and leaders globally.
Systemic Coaching will be an invaluable resource for coaches in practice and in training, mentors, coach supervisors, consultants in leadership development and HR and L&D professionals and leaders.
Extremely important for coaches in our rapidly changing world.
The topics covered in this book are extremely important for our time. I recommend every coach familiarize themselves with the material. My highlighter was working overtime, as was my list of additional resources to research. My only complaint about this important book is - at times the writing style got in the way of what was important.
Most mind opening book - practical skills to apply for sustainability at every level through systemic stakeholder engagement. A must read for every coach
I appreciate the systemic approach Hawkins takes to create awareness and also the definitions in this book. Important for any team coach to read this book
