Coaching is
increasingly used as a tool to accelerate personal and business
development, in the business and management world. In particular its'
contribution to organizational transformation, and the management of
change, at both personal and organizational level has resulted in it's
widespread adoption across industry and professional disciplines. It is
acknowledged that the development of a coaching culture within any
organisation contributes to an open-learning environment where
learning, growth, and development can flourish.
This book predicts
the rapid growth of the coaching role in healthcare, as healthcare
practice responds to changing technology, evidence-based practice, and
shifting attitudes to health and healing. It includes a comprehensive
discussion of the psychology of coaching, in addition to basic coaching
skills, practical techniques for developing emotional intelligence, and
their application in practice. The coaching process is explored from
the practitioner and managerial perspectives, and it's powerful role in
supporting individuals through dynamic organisational change.
This book equips
Healthcare professionals, clinicians, managers and executives, with
everything they need to know to be aware of, and familiar with, this
important current trend. It summarises the theory, practice and basic
principles of coaching for easy access by busy Healthcare
professionals. It offers pointers on which additional coaching skills
they may wish to add to their professional toolbox, gives distinctions
between coaching and other forms of interaction, and discusses
potential applications for coaching within a Healthcare setting.

"EFFECTIVE COACHING IN HEALTHCARE is timely, appropriate and quite suitable for beginning coaches. The reader will develop a basic understanding as to what coaching is about. I am especially impressed with the book's organization of contents. The subject areas are presented in a very logical neat and "tidy" format. I disagree that this is a book for healthcare coaching, primarily. It is a primer for effective coaching, period! Hadikins' book is a "must read" for anyone considering a career in coaching!" - Dr.
Anne Gooding, Ph.D. (USA)

1. "Positive benefits noted by the doctors who were coached were: increased effectiveness at work, career planning, re-examination of their work-life balance and improvement in the quality of relationships at home and work. Five of the 33 GPs interviewed (15%) were considering leaving general practice and reported that they had changed their career plans as a result of the coaching as they realised they were happy to remain working as GPs. The consensus was that this type of coaching should be made available by the NHS to support GPs"
