CDANZ Book Review Author(s) Peter Hawkins and Nick Smith: Bath Consultancy Group Title Coaching, Mentoring and Organizational Consultancy Supervision and Development ISBN 13: 978-0-335-218-158 Date 2006, 2013 Publisher Open University Press McGraw-Hill Wellington RRP $63 Stockists Fishpond 25 May 2014 Ordering Information The Ministry of Education Library will purchase the revised 2013 edition. Reviewer: Beth Gallego Overview: This book explores the interactive nature and process of enabling others to practise coaching, mentoring and organisational consultancy through providing supervision and other forms of development. It helps the reader to ‘polish the professional mirror’. Key ideas: Everybody is of good heart in whatever they do and problems, where they do occur, are caused by the way these good intentions are interrupted or expressed. The writers are personally committed to creating a context for real-time learning opportunities, which addresses change in the here-and now, not in the future and only in the head. Transformative change challenges major assumptions within your world view - the difference between grounded commitment and its look alike sister – intellectual commitment. Transformative change always has to begin with oneself and flow outwards  Learning is always interpersonal  It requires both parties to be fully engaged and able to stand back and reflect  It is an inquiry in search of greater possibilities, not a search for 'the truth'  New ways forward are co-created  Any new understanding that emerges is always partial and requires further engagement to test the limits of its usefulness  It involves a transformation of the current relationship in the service of greater relational capacity in work beyond the room  A client or supervisee is always part of a larger context of influence.  Practice joins head and heart: the writers call this 'fearless compassion'. This book is a comprehensive resource for all practitioners in the careers, coaching, mentoring or organisational consultancy fields and for those providing supervision and development in these fields. Content: Introduction: Golden threads of practice – the consistent and underlying themes that appear in all aspects of coaching, mentoring, and organisational consultancy. Section 1: Coaching, mentoring and organisational consultancy Section 2: Development and supervision including the seven-eyed process model of supervision Section 3: Core skills and capabilities and key qualities and capacities including ethical and transcultural. Activities: I have bought this book and am finding it both helpful and challenging in my practice and ongoing reflections on my practice. Final Comments: In the appendices there is a whole section on ‘the deference threshold’ - how deference to other people’s assumed experience and authority can trigger our down-rating of the value of our own experience and how to use that experience in the service of our client. There are four examples of ethical guidelines from various coaching and supervision organisations.
