Conflict Management Coaching: The CINERGY™ Model

An excellent book by a pioneer in the development of conflict management coaching.Conflict management coaching is basically a one-on-one process. It's client empowering. It's not about advising the client what to do.Cinnie has developed a practical model for coaching conflict, integrating and building on the fields of coaching, mediation, and neuroscience. The model includes a process to follow, case examples, numerous templates, and supporting references.This book is thorough, well organized and practical. I liked how Cinnie clarifies the role of coach in context, as part of a larger community-of-practice, and in relation to other helping professions such as mediation and counselling. Lightbulbs went off for me.I've gotten to know the author through various online channels, including her role as moderator of the popular Coaching Coaching Guild group on LinkedIn, and where she definitely leads by example. Nicely done, Cinnie.

This book is a tremendously valuable resource. The author describes in depth the three pillars of conflict management coaching (coaching, ADR, neuroscience). The merry-go-round of conflict is also described in depth and provides great insights along the way. The author's own CINERGY model is the apex of the book...and would be worth 100 times the price of the book if presented in a multi-day workshop: so the book is a great value as well as most valuable.

This might be because this book was the fourth book I read in a series on conflict management but beyond discussing the three pillars, the book did not present anything new and started to come across more as a marketing ploy. Many of the steps in CINERGY seem like they were taken from a dozen other models. Don't get me wrong, they still work and the model itself is thorough but it seems too easy to come up with an acronym with your name and then applying another model to it. My last name starts with an N so instead of the C from CINERGY standing for clarifying the goal, I can come up with my own model and the first letter will stand for name your goal. I will be rich.

This is a must read book to HR, Managers, Executives that want to understand what a Conflict Coach can do for thier organization.

It's a little hard to read -

I use this book every day in my practice as an executive coach

Cinnie Noble has created a wonderful resource for all consultants who work in executive coaching. I highly recommend this book.

I am a mediator with various additional trainings, and I found this book to offer a comprehensive, well-researched model that I can use as a foundation for my developing practice of Conflict Coaching. There is much practical and accessible information, which is based on a linear, sequential system for approaching any kind of conflict. The book describes how the model was developed through a living laboratory of co-facilitators, and seems to literally be the synergistic result. The author, who blends her background of law, mediation and coaching, has created a significant, user-friendly contribution to one of the many new outgrowths in the conflict management field. The book might benefit from some more stories and examples of colorful mediations. I could also imagine there being a companion workbook with exercises to ground the tools as the reader progresses in skill.

This is the definitive book in conflict coaching with a model built by Cinnie Noble from the ground up. You won’t find this type of process and knowledge in other coaching books. I keep this close by as a reference.

This book covers the Cingery® theory of conflict counselling, but doesn't go into the actual practice. It is therefore not useful as a self-training book unless you are already an experienced conflict management coach.

The book was in brand new condition! I bought it for a course I'm taking to become a conflict coach! It's an amazing training! Highly recommend the book along with the training!

Did the course and wanted further information on the process. A good reference book.

Great book, a must read for anyone studying Organizational Conflict Management. The analytical tools, tips and coaching techniques are superb.
