A Different Kind of Coaching Book. Facilitative Coaching is a dynamic resource that offers coaches, leaders, facilitators, consultants, and therapists a guide for expanding their repertoire and helping their clients achieve lasting results. It challenges coaches to employ a full range of creative methods for working with the whole brain and helping themselves and their clients get unstuck when facing obstacles.


Facilitative Coaching and the companion CD include more than seventy exercises, along with guidelines, tips, and tools for putting them into action. All the exercises can be adapted to a variety of situations and are designed for both the professional development of coaches and use with clients. In addition to myriad hands-on tools, the book and CD include illustrative client stories, creations, and examples of results that are sure to spark creativity.

All the Facilitative Coaching methods have been tested by the authors during their more than fifty years of combined coaching, consulting, training, and facilitation experience. Their work is grounded in an in-depth coaching model that they developed and teach in their Facilitative Coach workshops. It is based on the highly successful Skilled Facilitator approach developed by best-selling author Roger Schwarz. This comprehensive resource includes the information and tools needed to become a collaborative coach who fully engages clients in achieving creative, purposeful action toward their deepest dreams and desires
