Evocative Coaching is a gem; it's something that should be read by anyone involved in a helping profession—and that's everyone!—David Cooperrider, author, Appreciative InquiryEvocative Coaching provides a wonderful blend of solid theory and practical wisdom in bringing coaching to our schools. I appreciated its new insights on presence and listening in conversations, particularly in hearing people's stories with greater empathy through the 'No-Fault Turn.'
