This book gives a useful overview of the situation of coaching across the globe by presenting the benchmark results of the Bresser Consulting Global Coaching Survey and giving a supplementary update highlighting the latest coaching developments to 2013. The Global Coaching Survey covered 162 countries and, for the first time, systematically examined the situation and development of coaching in the world overall, in each continent, region and country. It set new standards in the field and is a benchmark since. In 2010, the renowned international magazine 'Coaching at Work' included the Bresser Consulting Global Coaching Survey in the list of main achievements of the coaching industry. Several thousand companies and individuals have downloaded the survey results from Bresser Consulting and the high interest in the findings is unchanging. Besides the results' high practical relevance and applicability, the research project has also triggered lots of further local and regional research initiatives and has served as a role model and template for others' global research since. Interestingly, the basic findings of the Global Coaching Survey, while conducted in 2009, are still valid today, when compared with all subsequent research into this topic. For all these reasons, the publication of the benchmark results of the Global Coaching Survey in paperback and e-book form in the regular book trade was overdue, brought up to date with a supplementary chapter highlighting the latest developments to 2013.

On-going coaching and development that can be a “game changer” for all employees! All great coaches know how to ask good open-ended questions and how to give effective feedback. They keep a balanced and honest perspective that separates the person from the problem or issue; coaching to leverage their unique strengths and helping them improve weaknesses with a mindset focused on continuous improvement. This ongoing coaching and development can be a “game changer” for all people and teams with access to it. But what about the teams and players that aren’t empowered—or even allowed—to expand their roles? Or the team members whose careers don’t inspire or play to their natural gifts, talents, and strengths? It’s painful for any organization or manager when people on their team aren’t given the tools to succeed; and more painful still when the team member doesn’t yet realize it. But by coaching through leadership, any manager of any organization can create a supportive structure that helps assign the right roles, resources, tools, and career opportunities that will best leverage their strengths. Determines coachability and readiness for employee change and improvement Builds awareness to deal with the right issues, challenges, and opportunities Offers leaders/managers the tools to help a performer leverage their greatest gifts, talents, and strengths Allows for dialogue and tactics to close gaps in experience, communication styles, and personality Guides managers in how to have dialogue around difficult and important issues with their employees Includes coaching principles, practices, and tools with practical, real-world examples Offers strategies and tools to help employees become more motivated for effective change, action, and accountability Each chapter includes a series of powerful and provocative coaching questions for any leader or manager to use immediately in the workplace.

Eight master volleyball coaches with experience covering all levels, both genders, all over the world, indoors and on the sand. Their experience, insights, and expertise all in one place, just waiting for you to make them part of your own coaching! Carl McGown: Renown for his 40+ years of work with the USA Men's National Team, the BYU men's college team, and being a promoter of the idea of specificity in volleyball training. Giovanni Guidetti: 2016 Olympic coach for the Dutch Women's National Team and for Turkish professional club Vakifbank. Winner of two CEV Champions Leagues and an FIVB World Club Championship. Ruth Nelson: AVCA Hall of Fame inductee with over 500 NCAA Division I victories alongside coaching at the national team level and in professional volleyball. Now dedicates her time to players under 10. Jefferson Williams: Winner of nearly 60 league and cup titles in the UK. Coached at the national team level for both England and Team GB. Teri Clemens: Won 7 NCAA Division III national championships in 14 years, including 6 in a row. Also won three straight state championships as a high school coach before moving to college volleyball. Garth Pischke: The winningest men's collegiate volleyball coach in North American with nearly 1300 victories in Canada, including 9 national titles and 9 runner-up finishes. Tom Turco: Winner of 17 state high school championships, including a 110 match winning streak. Twice selected National Coach of the Year. Craig Marshall: Australian National Team beach coach for three Olympics. Nearly 20 years coaching on the international professional beach tour. You may know a few of these coaches, at least by reputation. Chances are there are some you've never heard of at all, though. The thing they share is lots of of success in their particular volleyball arena, or in some cases across multiple arenas. They each have things they can share with you about how they got to where they are, including mistakes they've made along the way. What is Volleyball Coaching Wizards? The Volleyball Coaching Wizards project is about identifying great coaches from all categories of volleyball and making their experience, insights, and expertise available to people all over the world. We interview coaches from across the globe, all age groups, both genders, all competitive levels, indoor and beach. They share with us their philosophies, their thought processes, and their methodologies. We then share that with you. This is not about drills and games. There are other great places to get that type of material. Instead, Volleyball Coaching Wizards is about the thinking that surrounds the technical and tactical side of things. It's about letting you see what great volleyball coaches have in common, and where they differ despite all having great success over their career. There are two main goals of the Wizards project. One is to provide information and inspiration to volleyball coaches everywhere. The other is to help develop a real volleyball coaching literature, one which matches what can be found in other sports.

Three words describe the treatise in your hands: passion, experience, and depth. It is one thing to write a theory and quite another to adduce gems of wisdom from a calling that was lived in numerous settings, explored over decades, and then studied; such is the case for Dr. Norahs Executive Performance. The book includes lessons from a doctoral study on executive performance in Uganda. It presents a framework of eight critical pillars of executive performance and a model for generating intrinsic motivation to perform. It confirms that performance is mostly about leadership, sociocultural beliefs, and performers attitudes. More importantly, it presents practical ideas about leadership that appropriately addresses sociocultural and mind-set challenges to unlock performance among Ugandan executives. In here are invaluable thoughts, nuggets, and incredible wisdom for business owners, organization leaders, and executives who are looking for ideas to enhance organizational performance in an African setting. Indeed, Executive Performance is a collectors piece.
