Taking a uniquely historical perspective, Nick Bolton draws out the influences that, over a span of centuries, have coalesced into what we now call coaching.
Highlighting the significant figures whose ideas have shaped how we think, Nick brings to light the assumptions around knowledge, selfhood, meaning, dialogue and more that have contributed to the development of coaching.
Far more than simply a pragmatic conversation, Nick shows how coaching is built on foundations of thinking that have developed since the days of the Ancient Greeks and continued to evolve to a greater or lesser extent ever since.
With 50 profiles and portraits of each thinker, you will gain a snapshot of the essence of how each made their mark and how these form the bedrock of coaching or have been absorbed into it.
Each profile is short, less than 500 words, giving a brief window into the ideas of the individual and allowing you to quickly gain a sense of whom you might wish to explore further.
