.Excellence in Coaching: The Industry Guide

from: Kogan Page Ltd

September 03, 2006
Running an Executive Coaching practice, where I have personally delivered thousands of hours of coaching, I approached this book with a healthy scepticism. Was this a book where as many people as possible submitted their names so that they quickly could claim to be `an author'? (I say this with my opinion informed as author of The Coaching Parent). In fact, and the reader will form his own opinion, I believe that for at least 80% of the work this is not the case and either new, or refreshed material is offered. I have annotated significant amounts of the text and found it an excellent product overall. Highlights - having seen Grant in London, I found his piece on Solution-focused coaching worthwhile. Also it was great to hear the thoughts ... Read More:

.Remember those great Volkswagen ads?

by: Alfredo Marcantonio, John O'Driscoll, David Abbott

2000-12
Imagine for a moment that it's 1946. A year after the Second World War. You're a hard-working advertising executive enjoying a much-needed cup of steaming coffee. Then you get a phonecall from a potential client.

It turns out the client is a small car manufacturer. So far, no problem.

It turns out the client is a small German car manufacturer. Hmmm... maybe a little tricky.

It turns out the client is a small German car manufacturer whose product was commissioned by Adolph Hitler. Bummer.

'Remember Those Great Volkswagon Ads?' tells the story, through the advertising, of how the Volkswagon was transformed from being Hitler's strange looking car into an American icon. How it went from being a Nazi 'people car' ... Read More:

.The Child Is Father of the Man: How Humans Learn and Why

by: Arthur John Abbott

October 29, 1999
Living up to such a stunning cover photograph is no mean feat (who is that devastatingly attractive young man on the left?). Abbott's revolutionary call to arms is disturbing, yet inspirational. Education simply cannot continue the way that it has. Are we battery hens or free-range chickens? That is the important question. Readers should pay particular attention to the book's postscript, for its clarity, elegance of phrase, and rapier-like wit and subtlety.
