Riassunto

Appreciative Coaching describes an approach to coaching that is rooted in Appreciative Inquiry. At its core the Appreciative Coaching method shows individuals how to tap into (or rediscover) their own sense of wonder and excitement about their present life and future possibilities. Rather than focusing on individuals in limited or problem-oriented ways, Appreciate Coaching guides clients through four stages—Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny—that inspire them to an appreciative and empowering view of themselves and their future.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Appreciative Inquiry evolved in the 1980s as a positive philosophy to guide change in organizations. The philosophy is based on the assumption that inquiry into and dialogue about strengths, successes, hopes, and dreams is itself a transformational process.

Appreciative Coaching describes an approach to coaching that is rooted in Appreciative Inquiry. At its core the Appreciative Coaching method shows individuals how to tap into (or rediscover) their own sense of wonder and excitement about their present life and future possibilities. Rather than focusing on individuals in limited or problem-oriented ways, Appreciative Coaching guides clients through four stages?Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny?that inspire them to an appreciative and empowering view of themselves and their future.

Based on the broad and varied experiences of the authors, Appreciative Coaching is filled with illustrative stories that clearly demonstrate how this method works. Appreciative Coaching weaves theory with practical, hands-on knowledge, including tools and concrete steps for incorporating this proven method into any existing coaching practice.

Using this approach, coaches will discover new ways to flourish in their practices and with their clients by affirming and recognizing a spirit of inquiry that brings forth the best in others.
