'Coaching is growing across the globe as a viable and useful intervention to help executives deal with the complexity they face day-to-day. In response to this increased demand, many coaches have presented their "model" of coaching to the world of business, and a number of these have made it into print. Few are based on a rigorous development process or have provided the reader with an insight into their development. The Author wanted to offer to the readers of our professional coaching series the opportunity to engage with a practitioner who had been through a journey of learning built on their experience, the literature and research. This book meets the need identified for a clear and rigorous account by an experienced coach of the development of their model within the scientist-practitioner framework.

The Evidence-Based Practitioner Coach gives a descriptive, phenomenological understanding of human development through the lens of the Integrated Experiential Learning Process, and how it can be applied in coaching. Aimed at coaches who would like to ground their experience in an evidence-based practitioner model, it synthesises evidence and theory from a range of disciplines, exploring how we learn through a complex process involving brain, body and social relationships, and facilitated consciously and unconsciously through the central and autonomic nervous systems. It applies this understanding to a range of settings, contexts and environments. The book notably combines the fascinating knowledge produced by cutting-edge research with useful, practical methodologies developed by some of the wisest observers of humanity. Its sheer readability, in an engagingly down-to-earth and warmly human way, helps make the contents readily accessible to coach practitioners and others from non-academic backgrounds. Rigorous and erudite, this book would be suitable for business coaches, corporate executives, senior managers, and human resource specialists, and provides an invaluable contribution to what it means to be a scientist-practitioner within the evolving profession of coaching.
