Non-directive Coaching provides a clear outline of what
non-directive coaching is and how it can be used to develop and
support others. The emphasis of the text is clearly focused on how
coaching helps to enable others. Guidance is provided on how to use
questioning and listening more effectively to guide learners to
explore their own practice in depth with the aim to discover ways
forward and refine their practice. What is fantastic about this
book is that it also explores the value of silence and thinking
time to enable the learner to reflect on practice and explore their
own solutions. Strategies are explored and a direct link is made to
how coaching can be used to develop others. It is a theory rich,
compact read, exploring a wide range of important issues, with a
clear focus on the application and how to help others. The
text is extremely helpful for both the new and experienced
subject/phase tutor and mentor who is keen to continue to develop
and support their trainees to the best of their ability.
