Today, at the beginning of the 2020’s, the need for effective leadership coaching is more urgent than ever. In response, this book offers a broad and multi-disciplinary overview of coaching in the twenty-first century, with contributions from 27 leading coaches and coach educators across North America, Europe and Asia. It is organized in 5 sections:

• Part I offers an overview of the “ancestors” of coaching, whose theories and practices have informed coaching from its beginnings
• Part II consists of five chapters including research, theories, and models that inform coaching with leaders and executives.
• Part III includes four chapters focused on a variety of theories, research, and techniques that enable transformational change with coaching clients.
• Part IV includes four chapters focused on coaching in an organizational or group context.
• Part V includes three chapters covering research and applied theory for educating and developing professional coaches.

The book is particularly valuable for:

• Practicing coaches, who will appreciate innovations in both coaching theory and practice of immediate relevance for their clients;
• Researchers, who will value new case studies using qualitative and quantitative methodologies in multiple coaching contexts;
• Coach educators, who will find fresh perspectives and new materials to include in their training programs; and
• Coaching students, who will gain a deeper appreciation of the theories underpinning evidence-based coaching.
