Recommendation
Pick up any trendy publication and you’re likely to see advertisements for life coaches and business coaches – individuals who promise to lead executives through positive, dramatic personal and professional changes. The trouble is that anyone can hang out a shingle and claim to be a career coach. For a systematic approach, Brenda Corbett and Judith Colemon, both experienced senior managers, suggest a structured, measurable process that coaches can use with their clients. Their system – which is named after the Sherpas, the Nepalese mountaineers who guide climbers up Mt. Everest – is built on a set of specific techniques for helping executives reach the next level in their trek up the career mountain. Business people who wonder if they want coaching will relate to the book’s numerous nicely told, short case histories, plus its instructions and step-by-step solutions. The book also provides coaches with tools, worksheets and sample client-journal pages. If you want to gain a foothold in executive coaching, getAbstract highly recommends that you start climbing – and stash a copy of this book in your backpack.
