Coaching As a Conduit for the Greater Good
The basic purpose of coaching is to support the growth and development of an individual client or a team. The type of growth sought is almost always perceived as a potential source for a positive outcome. Thus, ‘coaching for the greater good’ is naturally implicit in the basic act of coaching. The author suggests that there are four experiences for which coaching is a beacon: mindfulness, development, transformation –and generativity.
I hope that you find this exploration of deep caring and Generativity to be a source of insight and guidance for you in your work with clients as a professional coach—and in your own life and work as one who cares about other people.

Generative coaching and leadership is happening quietly across many industries , enterprises and government entities…often unnoticed in its informality and authentic caring.
The term Generative shifts our mind ser towar energy…the key to expansive capacity to drive toward our common good.
Energizing elders engaging with emerging leaders is perhaps the most impactful way for senior executives and coaches to contribute toward a better tomorrow.
I am blessed to be the recipient of Generative friendship with one of the great minds of post moderb coaching and leadership, Bill Bergquist, PhD.
