Book excerpt: This book highlights some of the unique challenges that are faced when coaching inside your own organization. In comparison to existing coaching literature, which typically focuses on external coaching, this book provides a toolkit specifically for internal coaches. J. Val Hastings draws on over 20 years’ of experience, in addition to international interviews with current internal coaches in a range of industries, to explore the questions that create the foundation of strong internal coaching practice: •How do you manage potential conflicts of interest as an internal coach? •How do you coach when you have a vested interest in the outcome? •How do you seamlessly change roles as an internal coach? •How do you help leaders understand what coaching is, as well as its value - and yours - to the organization? •How do you coach the system? Important reading for all internal coaches and coaches in training, this book provides a key set of guiding principles and puts practical resources into the hands of the people who need them. “Only a masterful and insightful coach as Val Hastings could put together a book which teaches how to really deal with this scenario. This one is to be studied once, twice… again, again and again.” Juliana de Lacerda Camargo, Master Certified Coach, Partner of R122 and Representative of C4TL in Brazil “Val shares some great insights and ideas on changing the culture of organisations so that colleagues listen more than they fix. Coaching from the Inside makes transformation more accessible for everyone!" Claire Pedrick MCC, Author of Simplifying Coaching “Coaching from the Inside is a masterpiece that reminds leaders that it will bring out the best in individuals, teams, and organizations when developing a coaching culture.” HiRho Y.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal Coaching: The Inside Story provides a window into the world of internal coaching: the challenges and rewards for the coaches themselves and the ways in which organisations can ensure that they can get best value for money from their investment in them.Internal coaching is booming. A recent survey showed that nearly four fifths of large organisations in the UK believe that internal coaching (that is coaching delivered by one employee to another in a different chain of command) will grow over the next three years. Yet there has been surprisingly little written about the unique nature of the internal coaching role. Drawing on the stories of hundreds of internal coaches, coach sponsors, lead coaches, supervisors of internal coaches and coach trainers, Internal Coaching: The Inside Story gives internal coaches a voice. It makes available to hard-pressed HR directors, talent managers, and learning and development professionals the fruits of very practical research into what is working in organisations and how they might maximise the value for money they get from their investment in internal coaches.

Download or read book Internal Coaching written by Dr Anne Power and published by Anne Power. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching is the hottest trend in leadership today, a billion-dollar industry worldwide, and there are hundreds of coaching books on the market to prove it. But Internal Coaching: Stories of Success in Organizations was created to fill specific gaps in the market, and it differs from other coaching books in significant ways. As titled, the book deals with internal coaching-coaching that originates and is carried out within an organization. The goals of the internal coaching process can thus be aligned with business goals. Coaching can also create a culture of trust and cohesion that improves employee satisfaction and performance. An internal coaching program is an enormously powerful organizational tool, but it requires substantial investment, not least of which is ongoing commitment from top management. Thus, organizations implementing such programs tend to be large-frequently multinational-progressive, highly competitive, and elite. No other book on the market deals so extensively with this coaching environment, because few people have access to it. Internal Coaching is written by practicing coaches-not by consultants, business gurus, theoreticians, or business journalists-who practice at a very high level. The authors are in fact the same people who carried out the initiatives described in the chapters. All are alumni or faculty members of the Columbia University Coaching Certification program, widely regarded as the leading program globally and one of the few offering a concentration in internal coaching. The authors thus share a core discipline and adhere to Columbia's rigorous intellectual and ethical standards. They also share a profound understanding of the transformative nature of coaching, not only for the organization, but for the individuals within the organization. Despite the intensity and complexity of the coaching programs described herein, the discussions in Internal Coaching are completely practical and descriptive of how coaching initiatives work on the ground. The narratives are lively and accessible and will be useful not only to practitioners, but to anyone who wishes to understand the impact of coaching on organizations-for example, CEOs, COOs, CLOs and other executives interested in Human Resources, Learning and Development, or Organizational Development. Internal Coaching will be particularly valuable to executives implementing or considering a coaching program. It will be a refreshing supplemental text for people in MBA or Executive Education programs, in MA and EdD/PhD leadership programs in other administrative disciplines-and, of course, in coaching programs.

Download or read book InSideOut Coaching written by Joe Ehrmann and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspirational yet practical book, the man Parade called “the most important coach in America,” subject of the national bestseller Season of Life, Joe Ehrmann, describes his coaching philosophy and explains how sports can transform lives at every level of play, from the earliest years to professional sports. Coaches have a tremendous platform, says Joe Ehrmann, a former Syracuse University All-American and NFL star. Perhaps second only to parents, coaches can impact young people as no one else can. But most coaches fail to do the teaching, mentoring, even life-saving intervention that their platform provides. Too many are transactional coaches; they focus solely on winning and meeting their personal needs. Some coaches, however, use their platform. They teach the Xs and Os, but also teach the Ys of life. They help young people grow into responsible adults; they leave a lasting legacy. These are the transformational coaches. These coaches change lives, and they also change society by helping to develop healthy men and women. InSideOut Coaching explains how to become a transformational coach. Coaches first have to “go inside” and articulate their reasons for coaching. Only those who have taken the InSideOut journey can become transformational. Joe Ehrmann provides examples of coaches in his life who took this journey and taught him how to find something bigger than himself in sports.He describes his own InSideOut experience, starting with the death of his beloved brother, which helped him understand how sports could transcend the playing field. He gives coaches the information and the tools they need to become transformational. Joe Ehrmann has taken his message about the extraordinary power of sports all over the country. It has been warmly endorsed by NFL head coaches, athletic directors at major universities, high school head coaches, even business groups and community organizations. Now any parent-coach or school or community coach can read Ehrmann’s message and learn how to make sports a life-changing experience.
