Hi Fellow Emonet Colleagues,
I'm excited to announce my new book, Beyond Goals - Effective Strategies in Coaching and
Mentoring edited with David Clutterbuck and David Megginson.
The presence of goals in coaching and mentoring programs has gone largely unquestioned, yet
evidence is growing that the standard prescription of SMART, challenging goals is not always
appropriateand even potentially dangerousin the context of a complex and rapidly changing
world. Beyond Goals advances standard goal-setting theory by bringing together cutting-edge
perspectives from leaders in coaching and mentoring. Contributors include:
Sir John Whitmore (originator of the GROW model);
Robert Kegan (author of Immunity to Change);
David Rock (director of the NeuroLeadership Institute);
Anthony Grant (Head of Coaching Psychology, University of Sydney);
Ed Deci (originator of self-determination theory);
Richard Boyatzis (author of Resonant Leadership, Case Western Reserve);
And many others
We have needed this considered and careful exploration of the use of goals in coaching to
challenge any number of blithe assumptions
Im adding it to our ‘must-read list for
coaching
supervisors.
Douglas Riddle, Global Director Coaching Services & Assessment Portfolio, Center for Creative
Leadership, USA
What a relief. Finally an academically sound and engrossing recognition that goals in coaching are
simultaneously central and irrelevant
A mind-opening feast.
Nancy Kline, Founding President, Time To Think
This book is a must for everyone interested in this rapidly expanding field of studies.
Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, INSEAD, France
An inspirational and invaluable resource for all those involved with mentoring and coaching.
Lise Lewis, International President of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)
In a field that is sometimes simplistic and sometimes bewildering, this book stands out as
valuable to both practice and theory building.
Jennifer Garvey Berger, author Changing on the Job: Developing Leaders for a Complex World
and co-editor, Executive Coaching: Practices and Perspectives
This book provides excellent information on the history and evolution of goals and goal setting,
and deep insight into how we as coaches, mentors, and managers can support our clients in
practice.
Diane Brennan MBA, MCC, Past President International Coach Federation
