Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change

If you are looking for something that can help you find out more about what coaching can do for a small business, then you might want to check out Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change.

Written by Sara Orem, PhD, Jacqueline Binkert, PhD, and Ann Clancy, PhD. Appreciative Coaching is for anyone in a position to effect change within a company. I'm not sure who would be in that position more than a small business owner.

Published by Jossey-Bass, the book guides the reader through four stages of "Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny," to inspire them to empower their self and their future.

Orem is a faculty member of Capella's School of Business and Technology. Capella University is known as being an accredited e-learning university has programs such as the online mba program in their graduate degree and bachelor's degree programs that cover fields such as business and information technology. Binkert is an executive coach who specializes in working with leaders and teams during times of change. And Clancy is president of Clancy Consultants, she has worked with community organizations, large corporations, and federal agencies.

All three women have drawn on their experiences in these areas to help write a book that they feel is "...really a new application of appreciative inquiry.”
