Product Description
Written as a business fable, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest is the story of a gifted executive coach, J. C. Williams, and his coaching relationships with his varied business clients-all with their own professional challenges. The book offers engaging stories, has believable characters with realistic problems, and illustrates the structure and content of the coaching process. The book is a quick read-something any busy executive could read on a flight between Washington, DC and Boston-and is time very well spent, not only for the individual executive but for her or his company's future. Although executive coaching has become increasingly popular with organizations across the globe because of its effectiveness, many people don't know what it looks like until they actually commit to the process. The confidentiality involved in coaching between coach and client is somewhat responsible for the mysteriousness of the process. That's why Dr. Steve Gladis has written The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest to help leaders better see and understand how executive coaching works.

G. Lee Salmon, Executive Coach, Federal Consulting Group, Department of Treasury September 25, 2008
I coach a lot of executives and political appointees in the Federal government and often find new clients don't understand what is executive coaching and what kind of impacts it can have on them and their organizations. Steve's book helps speed up the process in a succinct, easy to read way that is not time consuming. I find that giving my clients this book up front helps us move quicker and go deeper to achieve the results they want to achieve. I recommend this book to all practicing coaches as a useful tool to speed client engagement.
This is a great book! September 24, 2008
I highly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in becoming a great leader! The narratives in this book strike a very familiar note and are most revealing of the complex relational struggles that confront leaders. Gladis does an excellent job illustrating the best communication strategies for meeting and overcoming these challenges. Steve Gladis becomes your leadership coach in this book, helping you successfully inspire, coordinate, and influence the people you work with. I really enjoyed reeading this book and I have already incorporated a lot of what I learned from the book in my personal and professional endeavors. I think you will find this book to be extremely valuable too!

The A-B-C's and 1-2-3's of Executive Coaching September 7, 2008
A must read for those unfamiliar with or unsure of the value of executive coaching. Dr. Gladis's use of scenario-based examples demonstrates the entire coaching process in a poignant, simple manner, from the pre-coaching interview to the final evaluation and review. The examples enable readers to understand exactly how an experienced executive coach helps a qualified client find his/her own path to the next level, both personally and professionally. If someone has found that he/she has stalled in their professional advancement, it is very likely that an executive coach could be the answer. An extremely quick read and well worth the investment.
Inside the mind of coaching July 21, 2008
Gladis takes the reader inside the mind of the coach and the
coached and makes him feel like a witness to a host of
human foibles. His parallel stories are laced with real people who, while
successful in many ways, hit a rough patch in their lives and are compelled
to face up to some deep seated issues that are holding them back.
In his gentle, humorous but unyielding view that people must embrace the
light and the shadow within themselves, Gladis makes it clear that there are those who can lead
us back to our highest purposes when we have lost our way.
Mystery Revealed: A Window Into Executive Coaching July 15, 2008
Gladis has done it again! Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall during someone else's executive coaching sessions? In spite of the fact that coaching has become a $1.5 billion industry and growing, it still remains a mystery for leaders who haven't experienced it personally. You've heard about coaching, but don't really know what it looks like, what to expect, or what it might do for you. Now, there's a window into that mystery. Steve Gladis, PhD., has published a quick read that helps leaders better see and understand how coaching works. The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest is the story of a fictional executive coach named J. C. Williams, and his varied business clients--all with their own professional issues. Delightful characters with some realistic challenges hire the executive coach, and we get to watch their successes unfold. Styled in the fable format, like the popular Patrick Lencioni books, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest has that special blend of easy and engaging storylines balanced with methodology and process information about how executive coaching contributes both to the leaders' careers and the organization's bottom line. It's a great airplane read for any busy executive who wants to know more about coaching, whether for your own career, or to improve overall results for your organization.
