Evidence-Based Coaching by Michael Cavanagh
Coaching in its many forms is emerging as an exciting and important branch of positive psychology. Evidence-Based Coaching (Vol.1): Theory, Research and Practice From the Behavioural Sciences is a landmark in coaching publishing -- a collection of 15 peer-reviewed chapters by leading writer-practitioners that places the practice of coaching in the context of up-to-the-minute theory and research. The book presents key presentations from the First Evidence-Based Coaching Conference, which took place in July 2003 at the University of Sydney, Australia. The aim of the conference was to provide an academically grounded forum that would foster the development of a broad, evidence-based knowledge foundation and facilitate an intelligent, open and informed dialogue between coaches. The last 10 years have seen a rapid increase in interest in life coaching and in executive and workplace coaching. In the workplace, coaching is beginning to move from being the latest management fad to a mainstream component of organisation development and talent management. This growing popularity of coaching as a human and organisational change methodology carries with it enormous opportunities and challenges for those who deliver coaching services and coach training.The term 'evidenced-based coaching' was coined by staff of the Coaching Psychology Unit of the University of Sydney to describe executive, personal and life coaching that goes beyond adaptations of the popular self-help or personal development genre, is purposefully grounded in the behavioural and social sciences and is unequivocally based on up-to-date scientific knowledge. An excellent resource and guide for best practice, this book is essential reading for coaches, psychologists, managers and human resources specialists who wish to extend their theoretical and practical understanding of coaching in its various forms.
Anthony Grant had such an incredible time on his first trip to Israel that he barely remembers it - of course, he was just three years old. Repeat visits reminded him of both the infinite complexity of the Holy Land and its timeless allure. A veteran travel writer, he worked on an early version of The Atlantic's website before leaving the patrician confines of Boston's Back Bay to wander around the remotest corners of New England. The result of that was a deeper appreciation for cranberries and the prize-winning Rough Guide to Boston. A master's thesis on the Cyprus problem led to his work as communications officer for the Cyprus Tourism Organization in New York, while at the same time covering the city for both The Los Angeles Times and Access guides. And then came Paris, where in addition to guidebook work Anthony was travel correspondent for The New York Sun and worked at a famous celebrity photo agency just a few metro stops past the Eiffel Tower. He helped launch the website of the France24 international news channel before heading back to Manhattan in 2007, where he took on the position of Senior Editor at Forbes Traveler, a website. In 2010 The New York Times asked Anthony to file a dispatch on gay Tel Aviv and before he knew it he was producing the first-ever Israel travel guide for About.com. At that point he based himself in Tel Aviv where he worked as a commentator and media correspondent at a new Israeli television station. He has appeared on MSNBC, CNN and CBSN and produces a video blog called The Tel with a small Israeli team based mainly in Tel Aviv, covering media news and travel in Tel Aviv, the eastern Mediterranean region and beyond.
