“A tremendous resource for
building Transformational
Coaching skills and effectiveness”
Surfing Tsunamis gives organizational
leaders, coaches, and other change agents a
field-tested holistic approach for coaching
and integrating transformation efforts across
all levels of any organization that seeks to
thrive in a radically changing world. Through
transformational coaching, people learn to
unleash and align the largely untapped
spirit—the creative energy—in themselves,
other individuals, teams, and organizations,
thereby eradicating persistent performance
barriers and instilling a culture where work
becomes an act of co-creating a future in
which everyone wins.
This is the first book to present the science and application of transformational coaching
across all domains—self, others, teams, and organizations—by focusing on a pragmatic
yet powerful practice and platform that have already led scores of organizations, their
leaders, and their employees to achieve breakthrough results. The comprehensive
approach sits at the crossroads of several leadership and management disciplines—
individual and organizational development, transformational leadership, change
management, organization effectiveness, employee engagement, and the growing
interest in spirit in the workplace. So, be prepared to go deep and wide in this journey
to embrace transformational coaching.
