The Theory and Practice of Creative Coaching has been long in development and is not meant as an end-view of creativity in this field. It is, however, a stimulating collection of ideas (with detailed views from both practice and education) that seeks to provide stimulus to trainee coaches as well as those whose practice is well-established. With topics as wide-ranging as walking to line-drawing this book seeks to change the practice of practitioners, new and old, and helps to articulate the ways in which David Clutterbuck has called for a move from the use of models towards mastery by embracing new ways of working with the clients of coaching. With a wide-ranging scope, examples, ideas and a strong link to academic understanding, this book will provide a stimulus to the coaches, supervisors and educationalists to open their eyes to alternative ways of practicing their craft.
‘Arthur F. Turner is one of those rare individuals who is able to bring a crisp, clear and engaging writing style and blend this with new insights into the coaching process, from the use of silence to the application of playfulness and humour. As coaches move beyond the focus on open questions, clean language and active listening, this book provides the spice which can move coaching from the mundane to the magical.’ — Jonathan Passmore, Professor of Coaching & Behavioural Change, Henley Business School, Greenlands, Henley on Thames, Oxon, RG9 3AU
‘Arthur’s work stands at the vanguard of creative approaches to coaching – his experience and knowledge are of profound importance in understanding how we can better educate managers and leaders. I therefore recommend this book as a must-read for those involved in management development, coaching, mentoring and executive education.’ — Gareth Edwards, Professor of Leadership and Community Studies, and Deputy Director, The Bristol Leadership and Change Centre (BLCC)
‘This is a refreshing and inspiring book for any coach who would like to broaden and spice up their coaching toolkit. Based on theory, experimentation and reflective practice, the author invites you to explore innovative approaches to create a liminal space where meaningful dialogue can emerge and flourish.’ — Dr.KarineMangion-Thornley, Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies
