The first reference to bring scientifically proven approaches to the practice of personal and executive coaching The Evidence Based Coaching Handbook applies recent behavioral science research to executive and personal coaching, bringing multiple disciplines to bear on why and how coaching works. A groundbreaking resource for this burgeoning profession, this text presents several different coaching approaches along with the empirical and theoretical knowledge base supporting each. Recognizing the special character of coaching-that the coaching process is non-medical, collaborative, and highly contextual-the authors lay out an evidence-based coaching model that allows practitioners to integrate their own expertise and the needs of their individual clients with the best current knowledge. This gives coaches the ability to better understand and optimize their own coaching interventions, while not having to conform to a single, rigidly defined practice standard. The Evidence Based Coaching Handbook looks at various approaches and applies each to the same two case studies, demonstrating through this practical comparison the methods, assumptions, and concepts at work in the different approaches. The coverage includes: An overview: a contextual model of coaching approaches Systems and complexity theory The behavioral perspective The humanistic perspective Cognitive coaching Adult development theory An integrative, goal-focused approach Psychoanalytically informed coaching Positive psychology An adult learning approach An adventure-based framework Culture and coaching

Considered the bible of escorts, sex workers and sugar babies alike, Book 1: The Foundation is exactly that. It's an escorting 101 that starts with you to build a safe, sane, successful business. You are the foundation of your success. Book 1: The Foundation is a sex work reference written to create a realistic awareness of the pitfalls and rewards of becoming an independent escort (and it works to answer questions for the curious public as well). Start with the most fundamental consideration of all: --Decide whether escort work suits your personality --Maximize your personal appearance for commercial appeal --Discover personal boundaries and how to maintain them --Escort health and hygiene --Get to know and love condoms --How do you have sex on your period? --Understand the limits of your personal energy --and more! Common newbie questions are addressed; the ones that get asked, repeatedly, on public sex work or escort forums. While sugar babies generally don't want to think of themselves as professional escorts, they interact with their sugar daddies in much the same way and the safety concerns (and questions) are very similar. Ultimately, safe and sane escort work leads to happier, healthier escorts. (And happy escorts make for happy clients.) Written by an escort for escorts.
