The Golden Key to Executive Coaching...and One Treasure Chest Every Coach Needs to Explore

<i><b>The Golden Key to Executive Coaching</i></b> is a unique contribution to the field of<br> professional leadership development. What distinguishes Janet Steinwedel's approach is her incorporation<br> of the lessons of depth psychology-particularly the work of Carl Jung-into her outlook and<br> methodology. Within this accessible volume Dr. Steinwedel also offers practical wisdom gleaned from<br> her academic background in Human and Organizational Systems in such corporate roles as Director of<br> Leadership and Business Effectiveness at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals Assistant Vice President of<br> Leadership and Organization Development at Delaware Investments and 10 years as President of<br> Leader's Insight her own executive coaching company. While <i>The Golden Key</i> is primarily<br> written as a guide for other executive coaches it contains much of value for all those seeking to more<br> fully integrate their authentic selves into their professional careers. It may also serve as a plain language <br> primer to the thought of Carl Jung one of the most insightful far-reaching minds of the 20th century. <br><br>Janet Steinwedel's <i>The Golden Key</i> is a profoundly useful addition to the theory and practice of<br> coaching. What so many of her predecessors have missed is the simple but ineluctable fact that both<br> participants coach and client are human beings with their own psychological mechanisms and processes. <br> Her book brings many of the insights of depth psychology to the practitioner who otherwise may be<br> limited to behavioral strategies which in the end are always undermined by the human psyche. No<br> relationships can be any more evolved than how we are related to our inner world for what we ignore<br> there will continue to tumble through us into the world. Steinwedel's book brings insights and tools to<br> this collaborative process which can only deepen the coaching practice through deepening the<br> practitioner. <br><b>James Hollis PhD</b><br><b>Author and Jungian Analyst in Washington D.C.</b><br><br><b>About Janet S.
