The Fourth Wave of Coaching

This handbook looks at the Fourth Wave of coaching - 'in', 'with' and 'for' nature. It presents a comprehensive overview and practical set of emerging practices in coaching related to the environment, nature and the climate, and reflects a wider move towards outdoor and nature coaching as an antidote to the over-reliance on digital and AI technologies.

About the Book

This next book in the acclaimed Coaches' Handbook Series brings together internationally respected coaching experts and practitioners to share the most up-to-date and evidence-based knowledge. It explains the background to the practice influenced by movement, senses, embodied practice and nature connection across different cultures. It explains the benefits across different coaching methodologies, with a focus on Eco and Blue-Green Psychology, and places the important topic of climate at the centre of coaching individuals and teams.

Tools and Techniques

The handbook incorporates a comprehensive set of tools and techniques in order to assist coaches in applying different approaches. For example, how to facilitate deep nature connectedness and biophilia (bringing the outdoors indoors), through the use of metaphor, weather, landscapes and serious nature play.

Case Studies and Audience

The book concludes with a number of case studies of how outdoor and nature coaching has had positive outcomes across different groups. Aimed at coach practitioners, their supervisors, trainers and student coaches on accreditation programmes or undertaking training for a certificate in coaching, the book brings to life this vitally important and energising coaching practice.
