New Coach: Reflections from a Learning Journey
Autor Lis Paiceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 dec 2012
Ne-a atras atenția abordarea atipică a autoarei Lis Paice, care, din postura de medic și educator senior, își analizează propria vulnerabilitate în procesul de formare ca practician. New Coach: Reflections from a Learning Journey, publicată de Open University Press, nu este un manual convențional de instrucțiuni, ci o cronică onestă a unei transformări profesionale, fundamentată pe auto-critică și reflexie constantă.
Apreciem modul în care lucrarea este structurată pentru a reflecta etapele naturale de dezvoltare ale unui novice. De la capitolul „Beginner’s luck” până la explorarea tehnicilor avansate în „Professional coach”, Lis Paice ghidează cititorul prin dificultățile practice ale ascultării active și ale gestionării tăcerii. Spre deosebire de textele teoretice rigide, acest volum pune accent pe ideea că un coach devine mai eficient cu cât intervine mai puțin, lăsând clientul să preia rolul de protagonist al propriei schimbări.
Cititorii familiarizați cu An Introduction to Coaching Skills de Christian van Nieuwerburgh vor aprecia modul în care acest volum completează teoria cu o dimensiune umană și practică. Dacă volumul lui van Nieuwerburgh oferă cadrul academic și competențele de bază, New Coach aduce la viață acele competențe prin exemple de „momente de iluminare” și greșeli recunoscute deschis. De asemenea, cei care au parcurs How to Coach: First Steps and Beyond de Bob Thomson vor găsi aici o perspectivă complementară, axată mai puțin pe studii de caz externe și mai mult pe jurnalul intern al celui care învață. Este o lectură esențială pentru oricine dorește să înțeleagă nu doar ce trebuie să facă un coach, ci mai ales cum se simte procesul de a deveni unul.

De ce să citești această carte
Recomandăm această carte oricărui coach aflat la început de drum care dorește să depășească anxietatea începutului prin oglindirea în experiența unui mentor onest. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă rară asupra greșelilor comune și învață cum să transforme teoria în abilități de viață. Este un instrument valoros de reflexie care umanizează procesul de învățare și oferă încredere prin exemple reale, nu doar prin scheme teoretice.
Descriere scurtă
Dr John Launer, Honorary Consultant and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the Tavistock Clinic, London, UK"I love this book. I've not seen a book before that uses the experience of the one who is learning rather than just telling you how to do it. It will be so useful in taking away the inevitable anxiety that comes when you are about to learn a new skill - and learn it in public. The author's honesty about her own pitfalls will help you know what to expect, and the light bulb moments that she has as she progresses will undoubtedly light up the occasional bulb for you too. It might be a book about learning, but it's also a book that outlines the skills of coaching in a whole new way."
Jenny Firth-Cozens, Imperial College London, UK
"This is a marvellous record of the journey recorded by a senior doctor-educationalist as she strived to gain the skills of a coach. Any new coach will find it difficult to put down as it will resonate with many of their own first reflections. She is open about her mistakes from the start. On her first day of coach training she had a moment of kairos, and she set her goal to train to the highest level, which she continues to do."
Dr Rebecca Viney, Coaching and Mentoring Lead, London Deanery, UK
"There are many books on coaching that give advice on what coaches should do. This book is different. Describing herself as a 'self-critical learner', Liz traces her journey into becoming a coach, telling a uniquely honest story, 'warts and all' that all of us can learn from. This is like reading someone's personal, reflective diary, rather than a recipe book on 'how to coach'. The result is both engaging and highly illuminating."
David E Gray, Professor of Leadership and Organisational Behaviour, University of Greenwich, UK
You can't summarize if you haven't been listening.
Coach and client share the encounter, not the experience.
The better you get, the less you say.
The client is the hero, not the coach.
Coaching is a skill for life.
This frank account of one leader's journey to become a coach is a must have for beginner coaches. It will strike a chord with anyone who has been on a similar journey or has just begun professional training, discovering the disappointments, triumphs and surprises of learning to coach and coming to their own personal insights. Lis Paice's easy conversational style and rich supply of real-life examples make this an enjoyable read even for the absolute beginner. The questions she raises about coaching will also stimulate reflection for experienced coaches, trainers and supervisors.
