Coaching History

Mary Jean Parson wrote this book as a series of dialogues on 22 individual management issues in an effort to address the “right” and “wrong” way to handle interactions between managers and employees. Though the word coaching is used in the title, the word coaching does not appear in the introduction or the index.
The dialogue topics include: creative hiring, overwork or delegate, over and under achievers, drugs, alcohol, peer conflict, among others.

Dr. Vikki Brock, MCC, is Team Lead for the one-of-a-kind Virtual Museum of Coaching here at The Coaching Commons. Based on interviews about the evolution of coaching with over 175 coaching 'influencers' she also contributes mightily to our Coaching Hall of Fame. Though some may consider 'The History of Coaching' a dry topic, Vikki believes 'the roots determine the fruits' and promises the museum won't be a stuffy place. Vikki is also the only executive and leadership coach we know who supports clients from a 50 foot sailboat named Cuidado, moored in Ventura, California next to the Channel Islands National Park.
