{"product_id":"book-brve","title":"Challenging Coaching","description":"Based on the authors' extensive experience working with international Board level teams, Challenging Coaching suggests that for too long coaches have shied away from adopting a more challenging stance in their work - a stance that can provoke greater performance and unlock deeper potential in business leaders and their teams. In particular, the authors offer a new coaching approach, FACTS, to help coaches develop this challenging stance. The FACTS approach with its emphasis on FeeDavies-Blackack, Accountability, Courageous Goals, Tension and Systems Thinking is explored in theory and in practice using case studies, example dialogues and practical exercises. Long held coaching principles such as being non-directive, building rapport and holding to the client's agenda are put under the spotlight with the authors questioning their relevance to a 21st century business environment where the needs of the wider business must take precedence over the \"me me me\" of any specific executive. This is a timely wake up call for anyone who is responsible for the performance of others - be they coach, business leader or leadership development expert. An original and thought-provoking message that dares the reader to face the FACTS, and accept the coaching challenge.","brand":"Ascent Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49385944318256,"sku":"BDbrve","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49385944351024,"sku":"ZEbrve","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49385944383792,"sku":"ZMbrve","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/brve-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778651206","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-brve","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
