Coaching And Well-Being: A Brief Review Of Existing Evidence, Relevant Theory And Implications For Practitioners, Gordon Spence, Anthony Grant
Gordon B Spence
THIS chapter is about coaching and its influence on human functioning and well-being. The chapter is presented in two sections. In the first section coaching is defined and accompanied by a brief description of its essential practices, along with a review of what is currently known empirically about its impact on human functioning and well-being.
