New Book on Appreciative Coaching

I've written about coaching on this blog before because I have a certain amount of passion for it. I think coaching is a brilliant development in our evolution that can help innumerable people reach higher and higher potentials all the time. Not only have I intended to become a coach, but I am not using coaching skills in both my professional and personal life.

Now, Capella University faculty member Sara Orem has co-authored a new book entitled Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change. The process focuses on the strengths of the individual involved to guide him or her to the greatest success using positive questioning, mindfulness, and other techniques. The goal is to inspire individuals to grander views of the future so that they might achieve more.

Capella University is a fully accredited online university that offers both bachelor and graduate degree programs, including an online mba program.

Action Coaching

As you can see from my bio, it is my goal to one day become a life coach. I am just so into the idea of what a coach can help a person accomplish.

When I brought it up in a conversation the other day, the person I was speaking to said, "But isn't that sort of thing for losers?" Quite the opposite. A coach helps you crystallize your goals, makes you accountable to someone else for achieving those goals, helps you troubleshoot when you come upon problems, and is just generally on your side to help motivate you. Coaching is for people who are smart enough to realize having a team of people on your side helps you become even MORE successful.



Coaches can specialize in many different areas. Business coaches have been especially in demand because business owners see the benefit in a variety of areas from HR to bottom line.

A coach becomes a sort of partner for the person(s) with whom he or she works. Therefore, it's essential that you find someone who fits your style, goals, and personality. A bio of a coach is a great place to start when deciding if that particular person is right for you.
