There is an increasing demand for executive coaching but not enough well-trained coaches to meet this demand. Written by a father-son team possessing complementary expertise from the clinical helping professions and the business world, this unique book shows developing Executive Coaches how to use their background and experiences to become highly effective in utilizing time-tested executive coaching principles.

This book is broken up into two sections. Section One addresses a specific collection of skills and strategies for the beginning coach, regardless if it is the executive learning the more clinically based helping skills, or the clinician learning some of the "ins and outs" of corporate life.

Section Two of the book introduces more sophisticated (and highly effective) strategies that virtually all master coaches employ. This book is written with three primary audiences in mind, each with the same goal: to become effective executive coaches, particularly with individuals who are very talented, future leaders searching for ways to stay on track and keep focused.

Readers from either a clinical or executive background can benefit from how this book interweaves these two disciplines to provide a coherent, single focus on the practice of executive coaching. In addition, those readers who are considering coaching for themselves could benefit as well.
