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

<p><em><strong>The Golden Key to Executive Coaching</strong></em> 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 <em>The Golden Key</em> 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 <em>The Golden Key</em> 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 /><strong>James Hollis PhD</strong><br /><strong>Author and Jungian Analyst in Washington D.C.</strong><br /><br /><strong>About Janet S.
