Main description:

Cavett and Watts capture the reflective nature of coaching as a narrative process rather than as a series of case studies. From the client's decisions about what to bring into a session and the coach's and the coachee's post-session thoughts to the progression of themes throughout the coaching relationship, reflection is an essential but generally unscrutinised process. Coaching Reflections gets to the heart of how reflective practice is crucial in coaching development, both for the safety of the client and the coach or supervisor, and for individual self-awareness and personal and professional development.
