Download or read book Coaching with Personality Type What Works written by Jenny Rogers and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most coaches know that Personality Type indicators can add enormous value to their work. Based on the work of the distinguished Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, questionnaires such as the MBTI® and its many rivals can give clients swift, deep, unsettling and reliable insights into their own behaviour and needs. Yet many coaches hesitate, asking questions such as: • Do I know enough about it to use it confidently? • Where does it add value in work with senior leaders? • Where can it be useful when I’m working with a client on career issues? • What should I do when a client challenges me on validity and reliability? • What other psychometric assessments might I use and how do they complement Type indicators? • How should I use it with groups, for instance on management development programmes? • How does it work as part of a team coaching project? This book will build your confidence. It gives you honest, straightforward, practical and realistic advice on these and other issues, from an author who is internationally recognised as a leading thinker and practitioner in executive and team coaching, as well as being an expert on Jungian Type. The book is enriched by dozens of short case studies. "How can anyone resist? 'Coaching for Personality Types’ is a well written, accessible and stimulating book from one of my favourite coaching authors." Professor Jonathan Passmore, School of Psychology, University of Evora & Centre for Coaching, Henley Business School, UK "A masterclass in the area - while there are plenty of type introductions around, this is the best for practising coaches by a long way." Ian Florance, Consultant Editor, Meyler Campbell and Secretary European Test Publishers Group, UK "As an extraordinarily well-written guide to assist both beginners and veteran coaches in the use and interpretation of the MBTI, Rogers' book has much to recommend it, and I do so wholeheartedly."

Download or read book Coaching for Careers A practical guide for coaches written by Jenny Rogers and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can coaches help clients navigate the changing world of work? This book offers a step-by-step, practical guide to running a complete career coaching programme: assessing the present; looking at motivation, skills and ‘personal brand’; writing the most powerful CV/résumé; getting through a job interview or assessment centre successfully; and negotiating terms for a new job. Career coaching has never been needed more now that jobs for life have disappeared, being made redundant is common, the ‘gig economy’ is here to stay, and young people often must start in unpaid roles. The principles of career coaching are much the same whether you are a professional executive coach or a volunteer working for a charity whose aim is to get people back into work. But how do you do it most effectively? The focus must be on the whole career coaching cycle and building a holistic understanding of how a client’s personal and professional life has influenced the person they are today, who they want to be, and how to set successful goals. Important reading for any coach who wants to understand and improve their career coaching. “This is a must-have resource for all coaches to support clients in career and job transition.” Terry H. Hildebrandt, PhD, MCC, MCEC, Director of Evidence Based Coaching, Fielding Graduate University, USA “The clearest, wisest guide I have yet read on coaching towards success in the complex world of work.” Sarah Gillett CMG CVO, Former ambassador, and coach in-training “Jenny continues to set the bench mark for what it means to be a great coach. An inspiring read for anyone interested in coaching.” Kate Stephens, CEO, Smart Works Charity “The wealth of Jenny’s own experience and the depth of her expertise gives her the authority to teach us all and we are grateful to her for the extent of our continued learning.” Catherine Devitt CEO, Meyler Campbell “This is far more than a superbly comprehensive set of tools and techniques for career coaching – although it definitely is that. This is a masterful narration of the whole story of career coaching at a much deeper level.” Jane Cook, Head of Leadership and Coaching, Linden Learning “An experiential step-by-step guide to working with clients who are exploring real issues around their work, career, and life, to bring out their best selves. One of the best in furthering your learning and growth as a coach.” Diane Brennan, DBH, MCC, Director of Leadership & Organizational Development University of Arizona and Past President of the International Coach Federation (2008) “A thorough overview of the skills and knowledge required by career coaches. This not only defines the coach’s professional toolkit, but reveals the very best practice in career coaching.” John Lees, author of How to Get a Job You Love

Download or read book Recovering from Redundancy written by Adrian Warner and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, Adrian Warner was a familiar face on BBC television screens in London as an award-winning sports correspondent reporting on the Olympic Games. London 2012 marked his 13th Olympics as a journalist in a 25-year career during which he reported from 25 countries for Reuters news agency, the Evening Standard newspaper and the BBC. It was an unlucky 13th. Less than two years later he was made redundant by the BBC and, struggling to find a new job in his fifties, was forced to sign on at a Job Centre for unemployment benefit in a tough 12-month journey back to work. In Recovering from Redundancy, Adrian has used the experiences of his story to create an easy-to-read handbook to help people deal with the emotions and challenges of a layoff and begin a new chapter in their lives. Adrian was angry about being shown the door at the BBC but he soon realised that his redundancy was no different to the thousands happening across the world every day and that he had to learn to handle that anger and start again. In 12 chapters focusing on key issues, Adrian provides important advice on handling anger, dealing with former colleagues and seeing the bigger picture and timing of your life. The book also focuses on practical problems such as how to apply for a job, write a great CV or resume, network in your industry, work efficiently from home, manage your money and pick yourself up from rejection letters and emails. Adrian also reveals what he has learned from working as a part-time backing singer for pop stars such as Noel Gallagher and Ray Davies and how job hunters can learn from the world of rock music and sport.As a fluent French and German speaker who spent a decade of his life living and working as a foreign correspondent outside of his native UK, Adrian has written a guide with a global perspective. It is a must-read for anybody facing redundancy around the world and for their families and friends who are keen to understand the emotions involved. Adrian's redundancy in 2014 took place in London but his book deals with issues that will affect you in a similar way, whether you live in New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Wellington, Berlin, Paris or Toronto. It really does not matter much in which industry you work, either. The pain and the pressures are often the same.It is also a crucial guide for anybody just wanting to change direction in his or her career and to managers who are keen to understand more about the feelings felt by their employees during redundancy.Since his redundancy, Adrian has re-trained as a university lecturer and combines his teaching with running his own freelance business providing a wide range of services, from reporting major sports event to media training for National Health Service doctors, business executives and sports stars. Recovering from Redundancy is an unusual mix of a self-help book and the emotional story of a man in his fifties facing major changes in his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for dedicated academics who consider spending years masochistically overworked and underappreciated as a laudable goal. They lead the lives of the impoverished, grade the exams of whiny undergrads, and spend lonely nights in the library or laboratory pursuing a transcendent truth that only six or seven people will ever care about. These suffering, unshaven sad sacks are grad students, and their salvation has arrived in this witty look at the low points of grad school. Inside, you’ll find: • advice on maintaining a veneer of productivity in front of your advisor • tips for sleeping upright during boring seminars • a description of how to find which departmental events have the best unguarded free food • how you can convincingly fudge data and feign progress This hilarious guide to surviving and thriving as the lowliest of life-forms—the grad student—will elaborate on all of these issues and more.

Download or read book Trillions written by Peter Lucas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-08-29 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are facing a future of unbounded complexity. Whether that complexity is harnessed to build a world that is safe, pleasant, humane and profitable, or whether it causes us to careen off a cliff into an abyss of mind-numbing junk is an open question. The challenges and opportunities--technical, business, and human--that this technological sea change will bring are without precedent. Entire industries will be born and others will be laid to ruin as our society navigates this journey. There are already many more computing devices in the world than there are people. In a few more years, their number will climb into the trillions. We put microprocessors into nearly every significant thing that we manufacture, and the cost of routine computing and storage is rapidly becoming negligible. We have literally permeated our world with computation. But more significant than mere numbers is the fact we are quickly figuring out how to make those processors communicate with each other, and with us. We are about to be faced, not with a trillion isolated devices, but with a trillion-node network: a network whose scale and complexity will dwarf that of today’s Internet. And, unlike the Internet, this will be a network not of computation that we use, but of computation that we live in. Written by the leaders of one of America’s leading pervasive computing design firms, this book gives a no-holds-barred insiders’ account of both the promise and the risks of the age of Trillions. It is also a cautionary tale of the head-in-the-sand attitude with which many of today’s thought-leaders are at present approaching these issues. Trillions is a field guide to the future--designed to help businesses and their customers prepare to prosper, in the information.

Download or read book Antifragile written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it. Praise for Antifragile “Ambitious and thought-provoking . . . highly entertaining.”—The Economist “A bold book explaining how and why we should embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error . . . It may just change our lives.”—Newsweek

Michael Parr, CEO, British Arab Commercial Bank It's a tough job being a manager. How do you manage performance? If you come across as too directive you may get a reputation for harshness. If you are too nice you risk being known as a gullible and easily outmanoeuvred. Neither approach works.
