Coaching is based on the premise we must understand people before we can coach them. Flaherty asks fundamental questions rather than supply easy to apply tips and surface bandaids. Coaching is not telling people what to do; its giving them a chance to examine what they are doing in the light of their intentions. (from the Preface) A coach is someone who builds a respectful relationship with a client and then researches the situations the client finds himself in, with particular emphasis on the clients interpretation of the events. (from Chapter 1) Then, in partnership with the client, the coach can work to altering actions to bring about expected outcomes. This book provides the language and operative principles and assessment models and sample coaching conversations necessary to do that. The book is grounded in many different paths of wisdom including time-tested philosophies, sociological premises and psychological discussions. Chapter bibliographies encourage further interdisciplinary reading. This book is a coaching tool enabling the reader to become a business coach who can self-correct and self-generate your own innovations It addresses the question: How do I contribute to someones competence in a respectful, dignified, effective way?

What people are saying about Coaching
"At long last, a book on coaching that moves beyond 'advice from the sidelines.' James Flaherty convincingly shows that the only way to truly help people grow is to help them in developing new practices and new language, and that the only way to coach effectively is to enter into a reciprocal relationship where 'coach' and 'coachee' engage in a dance of mutual influence and growth."
Peter M. Senge, MIT and Society for Organizational Learning
"The professional or aspiring coach who picks up this book will find the 'mother lode' of coaching's guiding principles. James Flaherty has devoted his career to synthesizing and teaching the fundamentals of coaching. His models open up the conceptual framework for continuous learning for the coach and the coached."
Karen Otazo, Managing Director, Executive Coaching Connection, London, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong
"This tightly constructed book is a wonderful addition to the professional library. It extends far beyond the concept of coaching into the fundamental meaning of what it means to be of help to those who are pursuing their own personal best. It is a beautiful example of the work of a scholar practitioner whose goal is to link theory and application."
Charlie Seashore, Faculty, Ph.D. Program in Human and Organization Development, Fielding Institute, Santa Barbara, CA

"In an emerging discipline where serious practitioners are seeking reputation for integrity and outcomes, it is helpful to discover an advocate for rigor, discipline, and fundamentals. James Flaherty's framework will help assure efficacy in a field which could otherwise be marginalized by self-declared (para)coaches, diluting by their superficiality the earnest endeavors of the dedicated committed."
John Hofmeister, Director of Human Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, The Hague, London
"James Flaherty's book is full of useful and practical ways to develop the crucial and important skill of coaching. The underlying value comes from a strong ethics: genuinely wanting to help develop other people to realize their potential."
Jill Dodwell-Groves, Senior Manager Training and Development, Jardine Pacific, Hong Kong
