Book Circle – Australia

This CCA Book Circle will involve a group of about 10 participants who meet weekly (for 8 consecutive weeks) to discuss the book: Ecological and Climate-Conscious Coaching – A Companion Guide to Evolving Coaching Practice.

This Circle is based out of Melbourne and has two co-leaders who manage the Circle sessions using a pre-prepared Facilitation Guide. Each Book Circle meeting will start promptly at 5:15pm (AEST) and be roughly 60 minutes long. The zoom room will open at 5pm.

The book circle process invites us to freely discuss, question, and debate the text, thereby gaining greater insights into the underlying messages and concepts. The book takes us on a seven-day journey with your guides: 60 coaches and thought-leaders from around the world. Through storytelling, poetry and other creative approaches, readers can follow this program alone or with others and take a practical and empowering look at the impact of the climate emergency on their practice and how they might respond.

The book describes methods for adapting your practice while making a livelihood, reframing your work with urgency and action through exploration of the five-stage ‘Eco-phase’ cycle, moving from ‘Eco Curious’, ‘Eco-Informed’, ‘Eco-Aware’, to ‘Eco-Engaged’ and ‘Eco Active’. Designed to encourage discussion, raise awareness and increase confidence about stepping into a leadership role, the book explores the difference that coaching can make in the world as a result of greater eco-awareness and systemic understanding.

Featuring powerful stories from around the world, and with a treasure trove of resources and practical tools and methods, supported by reflective and practical exercises, this book will be an inspiring read not only for those involved in coaching, supervision, mentoring and leadership development, but also for leaders.
