{"product_id":"performance-coaching-for-dummies-isbn-9780470517482","title":"Performance Coaching For Dummies","description":"Performance coaching is a modern and rapidly growing method used to assist development, and involves helping individuals to improve their performance in all areas of their life, with a particular emphasis on the workplace. Performance coaching draws parallels with NLP and often focuses on the psychology of excellence – making what’s good even better, and helping individuals keep ahead of the game. On an organisational level it can include helping managers to consider how to get the best from their staff, peers and superiors, as well as helping to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. A performance coach assists individuals in building on their successes and helps to design, plan and instigate successful business\/life strategies.  \u003cp\u003eDespite its popularity confusion still surrounds coaching. It is a relatively new area and there is still a lack of understanding about how best to use coaching and in what specific situations it will be most effective. In addition to this, anyone can assume a performance\/professional\/business\/life coach title without holding any particular qualification or registration. With this increased awareness and confusion the need for a no-nonsense book on the topic that offers trusted advice is needed all the more, which is where \u003ci\u003ePerformance Coaching For Dummies\u003c\/i\u003e steps in.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Getting to Grips: Introducing Performance Coaching.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Coaching for Performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Getting the Process Right.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Deciding What You Want to Achieve and Setting the Structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Does Your Face Fit?: The Personal Attributes of a Performance Coach.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Starting the Relationship with Trust and Respect.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Getting Your Hands Dirty: The Practical Skills of Performance Coaching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Advancing Your Skills: The Magic of Motivation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Equipping Your Coaching Toolkit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Applying Performance Coaching.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Getting the Best: Talent Management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Managing Change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Following the Organisational Life Cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Managing Careers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Getting the Best Out of Your Teams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: Troubleshooting in Performance Coaching.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Coping with Difficult Situations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Overcoming Negativity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Managing Organisational Problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: The Part of Tens.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Ten Steps to Performance Excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Ten Steps to Coaching Yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Ten Useful Resources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAppendix: Forms.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndex.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003eGladeana McMahon\u003c\/b\u003e was named as one of the UK's top ten coaches by the Independent on Sunday and Sunday Observer.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAveril Leimon\u003c\/b\u003e is a leading international coach and an accreditor for the Association for Coaching.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePractical techniques for improving performance and achieving excellence\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExpert advice to help you unlock potential and achieve your goals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerformance Coaching uses a wide range of practical tools and techniques to facilitate development, learning, and ultimately personal and professional success.
