Goal-focused Coaching

This book offers a comprehensive, practical guide to goal-focused coaching. Addressing a significant gap in the literature, Ives and Cox contextualize goal-focused coaching within the broader coaching framework and explain the efficacy of this approach across a number of contexts and applications.

The book draws on behavioral science, rather than humanistic psychology, to provide a well-researched, evidence-based guide that includes:
