In a time when coaching often dissolves into vague feel-good conversations or turns into a substitute for therapy, New Coaching for a New Era draws a clear line. It presents coaching as it was meant to be: structured, accountable, and effective. The book puts the professional process back at the center-one that addresses real questions and real conflicts without unnecessary softening.
The author systematically guides the reader through all core phases of coaching: from a thorough initial assessment to collecting positions and themes, working with underlying needs, setting priorities, and moving on to creative brainstorming, a sober reality check, and concrete implementation. Precision of language, effective visualization techniques, and clear boundaries are central tools that make the process transparent and action-oriented.
Written from a distinctly German perspective, the book may feel unusually direct at times-especially to Anglo-American readers. That directness is intentional. In fact, it marks the first shift in perspective: a coaching mindset that successfully crosses the Atlantic. This practical handbook is for coaches and leaders who take coaching seriously-grown-up, precise, and uncompromising-offering tools for a new era in which clarity and impact come first.
