Coaching psychology offers a science-based approach for nurturing personal and professional growth. This guide offers a high-level overview of the process, describes the learning and coaching models on which it is based, explores some of the available tools used in coaching, examines the research on the effectiveness of coaching methods, and explains how psychologists can acquire the skills they need to become effective coaches. A final chapter examines some of the ethical issues that psychologists in organizational settings might confront.
Vicki V. Vandaveer, PhD, is an independent management consulting and coaching psychologist based in Houston, TX. A Fellow in American Psychological Association, Society of Consulting Psychology, Society of Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology, and International Society for Coaching Psychology, she received her Ph.D. in I-O from University of Houston in 1981. She helps leaders and their companies excel through effective leadership, teamwork, and adaptive organizational transformation. Her clients include large and mid-size US and international public companies, academic medical centers, professional services firms, and professional associations. She is a frequent keynote speaker and workshop leader on coaching psychology in international professional conferences. Michael H. Frisch, PhD, is a consulting psychologist who has traveled from traditional Industrial/Organizational psychology (PhD Rice University) and its application to human resources processes (PepsiCo) to assessment and executive coaching (PDI) and finally to coach training and case supervision (iCoachNewYork). While he had many years of practice as a coach in a wide range of organizational contexts, his more recent focus is on supporting the growth and development of organizationally sponsored coaches, both internal and external. He has spoken and published on these topics and hopes that this book further normalizes the path from psychologist to professional coach.
