Written by five leading executive coaches, Becoming an Exceptional
Executive Coach is the answer to any businesses' need for more
individualized development resources. Drawing on their varied
backgrounds, the authors show you that coaching is about more than
simply learning a set of skills. Rather, it's a whole-person
activity--one in which coaches connect to and serve clients in
unique and personal ways to help them grow in work and in life.
You'll learn how to draw on your professional experience, knowledge
of organizationally relevant topics, strong helping skills,
coaching-specific competencies, and most important, your ability to
use your own intuition to become a more effective leadership coach.
You will examine the crucial content areas that drive their work
such as: engagement goal setting needs assessment data gathering
feedback development planning With case studies that bring the
material to life in each chapter and a plethora of additional
charts, development plans, and contracts, Becoming an Exceptional
Executive Coach continues the discussion of the role of coaching in
organizational contexts and equips you to develop your own winning
strategies that will advance their careers--and the careers of
countless others.

When a team of Delta operators goes missing in Shenhuang, one of
China's newly constructed ghost cities, Shin Dae-jung-Callsign:
Knight, is called in to assist. But the Osprey transporting him to
the scene falls prey to an EMP attack and is forced to crash land
atop a parking garage. With a wounded pilot in tow, Knight explores
the empty city for signs of life and finds two terrified children
who warn him that something monstrous is stalking the city. When
the pilot disappears, leaving a pool of b lood and spent bullet
casings behind, Knight doesn't doubt their story. As bullets fly
and bodies drop, Knight must protect the children, uncover the fate
of the missing Delta team and defend against an unstoppable killer
whose ability to regenerate and whose horrible appearance reminds
him of something he's faced before-the mythological Hydra. But he's
not alone in the surreal abandoned city. A team of SAS soldiers,
along with Anna Beck, a former member of Manifold Genetics' private
security force, join the fray. Together, they fight against a
nightmare that follows its objective to the end: kill them all.
Tom Duncan-Callsign: Deep Blue, former Army ranger, former
president of the United States and handler of the black ops force
known as Chess Team, is visiting the team's new secret
headquarters. The underground facility, known as Alpha, once
belonged to Manifold Genetics, a corrupt corporation shut down by
Chess Team. But despite being abandoned for years, Alpha still
hides secrets. Security doors slam shut and lock, sealing Duncan
and his assistants inside. As Matt Carrack, the leader of Duncan's
security team, attempts to gain access, Duncan discovers they are
not alone inside the abandoned facility. High tech intruders have
infiltrated the base, their goal unknown. But a far greater threat
rises from the subterranean depths beneath Alpha-failed
regenerative experiments from the days of Manifold, and they're
fast, hostile and hungry. While the security team are beset by
ingenious death traps, determined mercenaries and vicious creatures
that defy their imaginations, Duncan and his personal bodyguard
must battle the growing tide of creatures, stave off the incursion
of enemy forces and prevent the violent intruders from releasing
the horror currently contained inside Alpha, to an unsuspecting
outside world. And as the battle rages, a bomb quietly counts down
in the shadows.
An Iranian terrorist cell has gotten their hands on weaponized
Ergot-B-a compound that causes violent hysteria, madness and death
within 24 hours-and plan to unleash the weapon on major cities
around the world. Successful deployment would begin a bloodbath, as
those exposed would kill everyone they encountered before
succumbing to the compound's lethal effects. Erik Somers-Callsign:
Bishop, is called in to investigate, but his first discovery shocks
him to the core. Dawoud Abbasi, the terrorist leader planning to
unleash Ergot-B, is his biological father. Bishop, along with an
undercover Delta operator known as Callsign: Joker, race across the
unforgiving Iranian desert in search of the Ergot-B. Seeking
answers, both professional and personal, Bishop must fight against
a private securtiy force, Iranian Special Forces and men driven mad
by Ergot-B. With the life of his biological mother in the balance,
and countless more people in cities around the world, Bishop must
call on all his strength to not only survive, but also stop the man
revealed as his father-even if that means killing him.
After a failed mission claims the lives of his five man support
team, Stan Tremblay, Callsign: Rook, flees Siberia and finds
himself on the secluded coast of Norway, north of the Arctic
Circle. Exhausted, cut off from the outside world, and emotionally
beaten from his defeat in Russia, Rook just wants to find a place
to rest. The small coastal town of Fenris Kystby seems like the
perfect place. Within hours of arriving, he discovers that the town
is not as tranquil as it appears. The townspeople are mistrustful
of outsiders, a pack of mysterious wolves stalk the local tundra,
and two villagers have been killed by a creature that defies
explanation. To make things worse, there are rumors of something
sinister, something the townspeople refuse to discuss. Despite the
hostility of the locals, Rook commits to stopping the creature
murdering townspeople. As the body count rises, he quickly learns
that the greatest threat might walk on two legs. And when he
uncovers the town's hidden past, Rook knows only one thing for
certain: something is rotten in Norway.
At the beginning of her search for Rook, a missing Chess Team
member, Zelda Baker, Callsign: Queen, is redirected to Pripyat,
Ukraine, a ghost town on the radioactive outskirts of Chernobyl.
Intel indicates that a splinter cell of Manifold Genetics--a
ruthless corporation dismantled by Chess Team--may be operating in
the area. Tasked with confirming the existence of a Manifold
facility, Queen begins a recon sweep of the abandoned town in
search of clues, but soon finds herself fighting for her life.
Something sinister lurks beneath the decaying, surreal remnants of
Pripyat's never-used amusement park, and it rises up to greet
Queen. In Pripyat, the streets are empty, the derelict buildings
crumble, but the bodies...are fresh.
I've been told that the entire continent of Antarctica groaned at
the moment of my birth. The howl tore across glaciers, over
mountains and deep into the ice. Everyone says so. Except for my
father; all he heard was Mother's sobs. Not of pain, but of joy, so
he says. Other than that, the only verifiable fact about the day I
was born is that an iceberg the size of Los Angeles broke free from
the ice shelf a few miles off the coast. Again, some would have me
believe the fracture took place as I entered the world. But all
that really matters, according to my parents, is that I, Solomon
Ull Vincent, the first child born on Antarctica-the first and only
Antarctican-was born on September 2nd, 1974. If only someone could
have warned me that, upon my return to the continent of my birth
thirteen years later, I would be kidnapped, subjected to tortures
beyond comprehension and forced to fight...and kill. If only
someone had hinted that I'd wind up struggling to survive in a
subterranean world full of ancient warriors, strange creatures and
supernatural powers. Had I been warned I might have lived a normal
life. The human race might have remained safe. And the fate of the
world might not rest on my shoulders. Had I been warned.... This is
my story-the tale of Solomon Ull Vincent-The Last Hunter.
