Description
Coaching in Times of Crisis and Transformation takes an in-depth look at crisis and change in the world we live in today and discusses its impact on both individuals and organizations. Covering not just coaching in the current crisis but any time of crisis and change, it offers a complete, practical resource for managers and coaches to tackle the challenges effectively. This book can help turn a crisis, whether personal or systemic into an opportunity for transformation. Coaching in Times of Crisis and Transformation covers definitions of crisis from both the individual and organizational perspective, including insights on: adapting to change and finding opportunities in crisis, what neuroscience tells us about our reactions to change, transformative coaching, change models, supporting organizations in crisis and how coaching and mentoring can act as preventative measures against crises.
Full of practical information and ideas on how to coach in times of crisis and organizational transformation Includes case studies from companies such as News UK and Co-operative Banking Group to give the practitioner insights to apply to their own practice when coaching in times of crisis and change. Provides both an individual and organizational perspective, allowing readers to have a holistic understanding of the issues involved and how to overcome them Explores how models such as Bridges' Transition Curve, Prochaska and Diclimente's Transtheoretical Stages of Change and Dilts' Levels of Change can be used effectively to coach in times of transition.

Reviews
"Liz Hall expertly intertwines relevant theory, the latest thinking of leading academics and real-world practice to provide coaches with an essential guide for working with people facing challenging transitions. Compelling, timely and inspiring!" * Dr Christian van Nieuwerburgh, Associate Professor in Coaching, Centre for Coaching and Behavioural Change, Henley Business School *
"The generosity in the material that is shared, the power in the stories, the vulnerability and honesty in the case studies makes this book an exciting and compelling read that brings you face to face with your own learning edge of working with crisis. This book stretches the assumptions of what it is to coach." * Dr Alison Whybrow, Chartered Psychologist and Coach *
"The idea of this book was initially a little daunting, as I wasn't sure how coping with crisis was something I wanted to be drawn towards. Rather than uncomfortable reading, it's inspiring. To connect with so many real and relatable stories of people's triumph in almost impossible experiences caused me to wonder - what would I do in this situation? Liz's research and references are comprehensive and it's a read I think most coaches would get something from." * Julie Starr, Director, Starr Consulting and author of The Coaching Manual *
"Neil and Alister provide both an inspirational and thought provoking piece of writing as well as a range of methods and tools." * Peter Hawkins, Emeritus Chairman of Bath Consultancy Group and Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School (about the legacy thinking chapter) *
"[the] writing resonates with the biggest challenges facing businesses now. The key question I am asking myself after reading the chapter [on legacy thinking] is... [W]ould shareholders be better served by adopting legacy thinking and looking to the long term?" * Andrew Jones, Finance director for an international fund management company *
