This book offers an overview and comparative analysis of four major coaching approaches: Cognitive, Existential, Gestalt and Systems Psychodynamic coaching.

Throughout this book the author offers an introduction to coaching and its benefits. He delves into the importance of building a strong coaching relationship and the fundamental skills and competencies needed, and then provides a comparison of the four different coaching models, approaches and philosophies along with their various tools and techniques. He then explores how each approach addresses different dimensions of leadership and human growth. Using identical fictional case studies, Fusco demonstrates how each method responds uniquely to the same leadership challenges, highlighting their distinct tools, interventions, and underlying philosophies.

This book will appeal to both novice and experienced coaches, as well as leaders, HR professionals and those curious about the evolving field of coaching and how integrative approaches can support complex organisational development.
