This volume: 'Unfolding: How biographical inquiry informs meaning-making in coaching psychology' breaks new ground on what some researchers call the third generation of executive coaching practice, founded on the doctoral research of Dr Saba Hasanie and based on qualitative research with highly experienced executive coaches. Incorporating childhood through biographical inquiry has traditionally been considered off-limits in executive coaching practice, but increasingly this intersection of the past, present and future is being understood to be a critical element for both personal and performance improvement.
