Arise : the art of transformational coaching / by Aguilar, Elena,1969-author.(CARDINAL)784758;
"Demonstrating a high level of effectiveness in the classroom is without a doubt a prerequisite to becoming a coach, but coaching also requires an understanding of adult learning, change management theories, and systems thinking; it calls for high levels of cultural competence and emotional intelligence; and it necessitates the ability to build relationships quickly and effectively. Coaches need to possess a range of skills including communication, organization, facilitation, planning, and managing groups. These capacities to work with and promote the learning of adults are not what teachers learn in pre-service programs nor in any venue in which they circulate as they master their profession. Therefore, there is a tremendous and un-met need for resources which can support coaches to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to fulfill the potential of coaching."--Transformational coaching -- A transformational coach's beliefs -- The foundational abilities -- How to listen -- Fifty questions to ask -- Listen, think, respond -- What you need to know about emotions -- How to coach emotions -- How to coach resistance and resilience -- How to coach ways of being -- How to coach beliefs -- What you need to know about equity -- How to coach for equity -- How to coach behaviors -- The art of transformational coaching.

Let it crow! Let it crow! Let it crow! / by Andrews, Donna,author.(CARDINAL)344601;
"'Tis the season for sleuthing in Donna Andrews' cheery new addition to the New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow series. Meg has been roped into participating in a blacksmithing competition, a kind of Forged in Fire wannabe organized by a blacksmith friend. Meg originally turned down his invitation to participate, but when Faulk, her blacksmithing mentor, breaks his wrist the night before filming begins, Meg agrees to step in as his replacement to keep the project from failing. She's not thrilled that the filming will take place during December--Christmas is already a crazy time for her. At least she doesn't have to abandon Michael and their twin sons during the filming, since that's taking place on Ragnarsholm, the picturesque estate that her friend Ragnar, the retired heavy metal drummer, is turning into a Goth castle. So Meg joins the cast - to the dismay of the woman who were looking forward to being the only woman blacksmith on the show, not to mention several old-school blacksmiths who think women have no place in the profession anyway. And if the show's producers were hoping for drama, they're in luck--the blacksmithing world is a small one, and some of the contestants arrived already laden with grudges and feuds. It's a high-stakes, cutthroat competition between people who wield large hammers and make swords and have forges full of fire at their disposal. What could possibly go wrong?"--
