Sommario/riassunto

Surfing Tsunamis gives organizational leaders, coaches, and other change agents a field-tested holistic approach for coaching and integrating transformation efforts across all levels of any organization that seeks to thrive in a radically changing world. Through transformational coaching, people learn to unleash and align the largely untapped spirit--the creative energy--in themselves, other individuals, teams, and organizations, thereby eradicating persistent performance barriers and instilling a culture where work becomes an



act of co-creating a future in which everyone wins. This is the first book to present the science and art of transformational coaching across all domains--self, others, teams, and organizations-- a pragmatic yet powerful practice that has already led scores of organizations, their leaders, and their employees to achieve breakthrough results. The comprehensive approach sits at the crossroads of several leadership and management disciplines--individual and organizational development, transformational leadership, change management, organization effectiveness, employee engagement, and the growing interest in spirit in the workplace. So, be prepared to go deep and wide in this journey to embrace transformational coaching.

Sommario/riassunto

Known widely in Europe as ""interpretive narrative archaeology,"" the practice of using creative methods to interpret and present current knowledge of the past is gaining popularity in North America. This book is the first compilation of international case studies of the various artistic methods used in this new form of education-one that makes archaeology ""come alive"" for the nonprofessional. Plays, opera, visual art, stories, poetry, performance dance, music, sculpture, digital imagery-all can effectively communicate archaeological processes and cultural values to public audience
