About this listen

The definitive edition - updated and expanded, with access to an online toolkit.

Co-Active Coaching offers current and aspiring coaches, leaders and managers in organisations and anyone wanting to strengthen interpersonal relationships a practical yet transformative communication process called the Co-Active Model. Since its creation by the authors more than 25 years ago, the Co-Active Model and the book have formed the foundation of the authors' six-part coach training program delivered globally to tens of thousands of individuals each year through the authors' training institute, CTI.

With its origins in the coaching profession, the Co-Active Model also applies to work and interpersonal relationships because it is based on principles of effective communication backed by current scientific research. In this highly-anticipated new edition, the universal applicability of the the Co-Active Model is emphasised. It goes beyond the one-on-one coach/coachee structure to include guidance for leaders and managers on how they can add a coaching competency to their professional skill set.

New to this edition:

  • Every chapter has been updated for relevance and direct application to coaching in all of its forms, including in the workplace
  • New material covering: current neuroscience research, Co-Active approaches to leadership development and working with groups and teams
  • More examples drawn from the authors' firsthand experiences, especially in workplace settings
  • More examples of the Co-Active Model applied internationally
  • Web-based 'Toolkit' with 27 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It’s already a pretty dry book. I wish the person who read it put in a bit more performance. Was a very dull book to listen to. Think I’d been better off reading the physical book as there were some good points.

Probably should have read the physical book

I found this book to be full of clearly explained coaching techniques and plenty of demonstrations to hear it in practice. There are also some great free tools available on their website.
As a recently trained coach I know I will be dipping in and out of this book frequently. Really enjoyed it, one of the better books I have come across.

This is a really great book and a very helpful resource but I found the delivery a little flat and it would be so much more accessible if the chapters were named!

Please name the chapters!

As a novice coach this book builds on what I have learnt in terms of coaching theory such as the GROW model. In fact the guidance offered in this book builds on the basics so naturally that it is easy to follow and apply despite my inexperience.

The authors seamlessly weave their framework with stories, examples and perspectives throughtout making this an enjoyable experience. There is an underpinning aim to the authors framework and that is, as a coach, to reach a level of relationship with your coachee that moves beyond basic guidance and into the realms of unbias friendship. As such, the authors provide effective and simple tools in which to develop oneself through practice to the benefit of both the coachee and yourself.

Overall, this book is a must for any coach wishing to develop their practice into something more meaningful and effective.
