EXECUTIVE COACHING WORLD: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Explores the definition of executive coaching and the linguistic behaviours of executive coaches in the English language and answers two important and fundamental questions: What is a definition of executive coaching that can be accepted by most executive coaches? What is the relevance and use of different linguistic behaviours by an Executive Coach? A new profession has emerged over the last 20 years called executive coaching, while massive changes in the way leaders of organisations are expected to lead. Executive coaching has seen rapid growth with an estimated 29,000 executive coaches globally in an industry worth over $2bn. Yet executive coaching does not even have a universally accepted definition of what it is, let alone universally accepted standards and as a result, anyone may claim to be an executive coach and deliver any kind of service. There is almost no empirical research of any quality and academics agree that defining and delineating the field is the most urgent task facing the industry as it moves towards professional status. A definition will answer the fundamental questions "What is it?" and "Who gets it?." However it does not answer "What does an executive coach do?." The coaching conversation is at the heart of good executive coaching and therefore the effective use of linguistic behaviours is the key skill that an executive coach must possess. Utilising the latest thinking in social research methods and a pragmatic approach, a concurrent mixed method strategy was used and an on-line survey instrument selected to collect primary data. A frame of 12,500 coaches was identified that included a random set of the population. This frame was invited to take part and 1,190 qualified English speaking executive coaches were selected as the research sample that equates to a margin of error of less than 3% at 95% level of certainty. Analysis has shown that this is the largest Executive Coaching Survey conducted so far. In total the executive coaches who took part in the survey have been practicing executive coaching for over 8,000 years Executive Coaching World: A Global Perspective will be a valuable asset to practitioners, academics, teachers and trainers alike.

As a therapist, people often ask my advice on how they can improve their relationship with their partner and people close to them. I decided to write about the particular way we see and do things, and what we need to do to positively reinforce the people around us. "The World Doesn't Revolve Around You.It Revolves Around God," explores 24 of the most frequently discussed relationship issues. The Table of Contents will guide readers to specific topics that may be of particular interest to them. You will get more out of the book by reading the chapters in the order they are written, however if you have a partner who doesn't like to read a whole book you can say just look at Chapter 20 or which ever chapter it is that deals with the topic you want them to see. It is not by accident that I mention Chapter 20 since it deals with prioritizing and my 24 hour rule. I often ask people if you had 24 hours to live what would you be doing? My next door neighbor asked me to mention this chapter early in the book because the message had a strong impact on him and he thought everyone could benefit from the concept. While the chapter titles are injected with humor, as are some of the chapters, the message in each of the chapters is meant to be serious. I hope you have as much enjoyment reading this book as I had in writing it.
