Donald L. Kirkpatrick presents a system for evaluating the effectiveness of a training program. The system assesses four types of information: the reactions of the participants, the learning they achieved, changes in their behavior, and the final business results (such as increased production, improved quality, decreased costs, or higher profits). This solid, organized approach to evaluation includes guidelines, sample questionnaires, charts and formulas, as well as case studies of companies using this approach. However, because it is fairly dry and technical, this book primarily will interest those who run or rely upon training programs. The summaries of the first chapters - covering the evaluation system - can provide managers and executives with a general idea of this approach and the research involved. But getabstract particularly recommends this book to those leading training programs, because they can use its specific material as a reference when undertaking evaluations.

This book is an invaluable resource for those looking to lead high-functioning women groups, and a testament to the power of group coaching for women leaders. Dr. Hélène Seiler advocates for the expansion of group coaching to support the fulfilment of women leaders, providing a comprehensive review of the relevant academic literature on group coaching for women leaders and an in-depth analysis of her reflective notes over the last 15 years. This book shares the author’s experience as an international group coach and an executive coach for women leaders, and echoes the voices of her former group members. Using case studies and practical tips, the author offers recommendations when forming a new collective of women leaders, shares best practices in high-functioning groups, provides solutions when dealing with breakdowns within a group, and provides guidelines to lead change when a group composition evolves. This book also addresses the potential impact of technology and artificial intelligence on the stakeholders of group coaching. Each chapter contains key points, multi-cultural case studies, and ends with reflective questions to enrich and personalize the reader’s learning experience. Group Coaching for Women Leaders is an essential resource for group coaches working with women leaders internationally, for academic leaders looking to extend their offerings for student coaches, and for corporate sponsors interested in augmenting the power of women leadership development initiatives in their organizations.
