In 2003 Meta-Coaching introduced to the field of Coaching the only generative change model-The Axes of Change Model. This was the first and only non-therapy model based on how expert coaches actually facilitate change in self-actualizing clients. Coaches focus on the process of maximizing a client's resources in service of one's outcomes and unleashing the person's potentials. This is what puts change at the heart of coaching. As a transformative process, coaching takes a person to higher levels of performance and success. What are the actual mechanisms of change for a psychologically healthy person? What about the generative change of coaching? What about the kind of change that people want who are ready to invent changes that takes them to their next level of development? Coaching Change answers these questions while simultaneously presenting the first and only non-therapy based change model in the field of coaching.

This third edition of Meta-States takes you on a journey to the theoretical background, understandings, and constructions of the Meta-States model itself. The aim is to fully locate Meta-States in the field of the cognitive-behavioral sciences as it establishes the emergent field of Neuro-Semantics. Meta-States is not just a model about how you think, feel, relate, act and speak, it is also a different way of thinking about the way you function as a human being. Understanding your own meta-states within this model of self-reflexive consciousness is to enter into a non-linear way of thinking and feeling. This book represents a major contribution to the field of NLP. It is likely that this work will open up an entirely new domain in NLP and offer a new synthesis between NLP and General Semantics.

Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.

IBM® Coach Framework is a key component of the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) platform that enables custom user interfaces to be easily embedded within business process solutions. Developer tools enable process authors to rapidly create a compelling user experience (UI) that can be delivered to desktop and mobile devices. IBM Process Portal, used by business operations to access, execute, and manage tasks, is entirely coach-based and can easily be configured and styled. A corporate look and feel can be defined using a graphical theme editor and applied consistently across all process applications. The process federation capability enables business users to access and execute all their tasks using a single UI without being aware of the implementation or origin. Using Coach Framework, you can embed coach-based UI in other web applications, develop BPM UI using alternative UI technology, and create mobile applications for off-line working. This IBM Redbooks® publication explains how to fully benefit from the power of the Coach Framework. It focuses on the capabilities that Coach Framework delivers with IBM BPM version 8.5.7. The content of this document, though, is also pertinent to future versions of the application.
