Brief Strategic Coaching: The Problem Resolution Process That Inspired Brief and Solution-Focused Thinking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780335249435)

Brief Strategic Coaching offers coaches a different process for rapid problem resolution and change. The book guides readers to identify problematic attempts at solutions, to get unstuck and reach their goals by breaking free from the vicious cycle of "the more I try to solve a problem, the worse it gets". Instead, the new solution is often radically different to the original one and brief strategic coaching supports successful implementation of these new actions.

Coaches can use this book to:
-Integrate brief strategic coaching with their current methods of working
-Understand and assess current solution attempts by coachees
-Support coachees to escape the cycle of problem maintenance
-Adjust problem perceptions and develop new solution strategies with the coachee

This book offers a fresh and practical take on a classic idea, making it an essential addition to the bookshelves of coaches and management leaders globally.
