[Ailist] Forwarding some Appreciative Coaching info

[Sue Hammond]

This came to me from one of the authors of the book. The book is a great 
how to for those who want to reframe their coaching to an appreciative 
approach.
This looks very good. You will want to contact Jackie directly, I'm not 
sure any of the authors are on our list.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

As most of you know, I am co-author of the book, /Appreciative Coaching: 
A Positive Process for Change/, with Ann Clancy and Sara Orem, which was 
published in 2007 by Jossey-Bass (available at www.amazon.com 
<http://www.amazon.com/> ). This year, Ann and I are offering a 
certificate course on Appreciative Coaching through the Fielding 
Graduate University.  The 8-week blended course is based on the theory 
and coaching practices in the book using on-line and teleconference 
discussions.  Please see the description below.

We are happy to announce that participants will be certified by the 
Fielding Graduate University in /Appreciative Coaching/ and will also 
receive Continuing Coach Education Units (CCEUs) from the International 
Coach Federation 

We are very excited to be offering this unique opportunity to learn and 
practice the Appreciative Coaching approach.  Enrollment is limited so 
we encourage early registration.  Ann and I would appreciate your 
forwarding this note to other friends and colleagues you feel might be 
interested.

With warm regards,

Jackie
