Diversity in Coaching by Jonathan Passmore
Diversity in Coaching explores the impact and implication of difference in coaching. The book looks at how coaches can respond to issues of gender, generational, cultural, national and racial difference. Understanding how diversity impacts upon coaching is a crucial element to coaching effectively in today's diverse society and can give coaches the edge when responding to their coachees need. Each chapter is written by a coach who specializes in coaching in specific countries or to specific groups. They provide guidance on understanding diversity and how coaches can adapt coaching styles and techniques to meet individual needs, local demands and cultural preferences.
'The book provides useful information for any organisation with a culturally diverse workforce.. But Diversity for Coaching goes beyond the international differences; it also looks at gender and age issues.' Works Management "...they do a sterling job in making coaches culturally and religiously aware when operating in different territories. It's a useful country-by-country guide, and there are differences when it comes to coaching." Human Resources ...this is a worthwhile attempt to both review existing knowledge in the field of coaching, and develop this knowledge into working practice. Consequently, the book can be used by both student and practitioner, which is a rare recommendation." Manager November 2009
