Appreciative Coaching

A new book titled Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change could be the book my friend is looking for to help with his current project. He is in the training field and has recently been engaged to work with the company leaders and teams as this particular company has recently gone through a major organization change.

Through his many years of coaching and research, he supports the findings that people and organizations flourish when they focus on human ideals, achievements, and best practices. This book, Appreciative Coaching uses positive questions, mindfulness, and other tools to acknowledge the strengths of individuals and effect change.

Published by Jossey-Bass and co-authored by Sara Orem, PhD, a faculty member Capella University, an online university’s School of Business and Technology, this insightful book Appreciative Coaching would be just the book my friend would find helpful. Written for individual coaches of managers, executives, and “those who do one-on-one work with people who can influence and create change in their organizations”, it would provide the information and knowledge to help the organization and people adjust and progress moving forward.
