This\nbook makes an original contribution to the fields of education, work based\nlearning and business by encouraging students to explore history, memoir,\nfiction, and non-fiction to model their own writing and widen their knowledge\nbeyond the work place and their customary reading. Inside are onsite\nexperiments with fiction and non-fiction prose that show how people in the\nworkplace respond and grow from contact with significant literature and culture\nthat relates broadly to their work. As a Coaching Master’s\nstudent observes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e“I have notbeen a\nprolific reader. It has been a weakness and a gap.  I have probably read more in the last year\n[during the project course] than I have read in the past twenty years. So that\nsays something. My ability to attend to what in a book has weight or relevance\nhas markedly improved. In the past I banked largely on my opinions because not\nbeing a prolific reader, I had to. It can be incredibly empowering to see that\nthere are so many assets outside of my own mind.  When something comes up now, I tend to weigh\nit. I am more specific about how I use words.” \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319290263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29028-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 117\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450695446668,"sku":"9783319290263","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319290263.jpg?v=1775784447","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319290263","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
