How can you become the best coach you can be? Becoming a Coach provides all the knowledge and inspiration needed to reflect on who you are, what you do, and how you can develop as a professional coach. Drawing on the newly revised ICF coach competence framework (published in December 2019) and up-to-date coaching research, the authors set out a wide range of contemporary coaching models and show how they can be integrated in order to deliver an evidence-based service to the very highest professional standards. Deepening readers' understanding of core competences and broadening thinking on how to apply them in practice, Becoming a Coach is the is the only book to align directly with the most widely accepted and up-do-date professional coaching competencies. It is thus the perfect tool for any new coaching practice, and the ideal textbook for any coaching education programme.
