Lessons from an Executive Coach is designed to help coaches, at any stage in their careers, to understand the realities of executive coaching. That is, to gain an insight into what it is like to sit down with a range of very different clients and work with each of them as their coaching journey unfolds and evolves. Drawing on his own extensive experience, master coach Iain McCormick helps readers learn not by setting out the dry theories and processes of coaching, but by presenting a series of engaging, fictionalized case stories in a way that is designed to reveal the challenges, successes, failures and insights inherent in each. From Adam, a middle manager whose story reveals the enduring positivity at the heart of the coaching mindset, to Amanda, a young accountant whose story reveals how learning can still take place even if goals are not met, Lessons from an Executive Coach offers a colourful and accessible account of coaching in action from both the client’s and the coach’s perspective.

As teachers, our intrinsic motivation is to supportour students in their learning. Because every student’s learning journey isunique, ELT professionals tend already to be experts at adapting materials,grading our language and planning out individualised learning targets. But evenfor the most experienced English language teacher, understanding how toanticipate and meet the needs of neurodivergent learners can feel a stretch toofar, even if you are already informally incorporating a number of inclusive practices. In this book, Dr Gemma Williams provides aresearch-informed and neurodiversity-affirming perspective, that respects andvalues neurodivergence as simply a different way of processing the world,rather than a collection of pathologised ‘deficits’. From this, she provides clearpathways from theory to practical adjustments and real-world classroomapplications. Section One starts at the beginning, to explore whatneurodiversity really means. Section Two brings the focus to the classroom toexplore meaningful inclusion. Section Three thinks about our neurodivergentlearners as unique individuals with different needs. Finally, Section Fourmoves towards the practicalities of teaching for neurodiversity; not justteaching neurodivergent students but also helping them ready themselves for navigatinga neurodiverse world. By reading this book, our hope is that you finish itnot only equipped with a greater understanding of the generalities of aneurodiverse world, but also the encouragement and confidence to supportneurodivergent learners. Supporting neurodivergent students doesn’t meanreinventing your practice: just thinking about it in (potentially) new ways. Many of you will already be doing lots of things that support yourneurodivergent learners. All that’s needed is a little additional underlyingtheory and some structure…

Residential childcare is not just a job - something you clock in and out of and leave behind at the door. It's a vocation - a deeply human, emotional and demanding role that asks those who choose it to show up, every single day, and give of themselves for the sake of vulnerable young people who may never have known stability, trust or unconditional care.

Written by an expert with more than twenty-five years' experience in a range of frontline roles, it is a practical, jargon-free handbook that interweaves policy and core concepts with practical examples of daily practice. Paying tribute to the resilience and dedication of residential childcare workers, and emphasizing their profound role in shaping young lives, it explores the skills, principles and practices that create safe, nurturing environments for children who have experienced trauma.

Launching the Action on Issues series, Women in ELT explores how and why sexism and gendering is so prevalent in English language teaching, and offers practical ways to combat it. Gender inequality has far-reaching historical roots across much of society, and the story of women's status and position in ELT is an intrinsic part of this complex history. In this thought-provoking book, Carol Lethaby and Patricia Harries explore how gender inequality applies to ELT, arguing that by looking at the origins of the patriarchal system and making connections between the history of the English language and gender inequality within the ELT industry, we can shine a light on the reasons for the existence of this far from simple problem. Part 1 provides an accessible, evidence-based exploration of the history, theory, neuroscience and current circumstances that make sexism and gendering so prevalent. Part 2 develops these themes further, giving examples and applications to English language teaching and learning. The book then offers practical ways for teachers and teacher educators to face these issues in their own contexts - both within the classroom, and in the wider ELT industry. As well as drawing on their own experiences, the authors have interviewed several prominent ELT professionals. There are no easy answers; but Women in ELT provides accessible evidence-based research and discussion alongside practical ideas and strategies for making a difference.
