About the Book

The source of the word compassion derives from passion, which is from the Ancient Greek verb πάσχω (paskho), which means ""feel keenly, to undergo and experience, to suffer". Simply put, compassion is the act of being with an individual as they move through the challenges and difficulties of life. This is the role of a coach...to willingly be with our clients as they move to overcome their challenges on the path to becoming more exceptional. Human beings are multi-dimensional. We inhabit intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and linguistic domains that continuously conspire to impact how we experience living and working in the world. It is an obvious statement to assert that human beings are infinitely complex. It therefore stands to reason that our approach as coaches to the development of people should be similarly complex. Any useful coaching model needs to, in some manner, take these facts into account. Three Dimensional Coaching integrates key parts of three of the most influential coaching models existing today. Most importantly, by using the integrated coaching approach presented in this book, Three Dimensional Coaching provides guidance to the coach to facilitate their client to effectively feel keenly and undergo or experience the variety and depth of human complexity as they move toward their goals.
