Michael H. Frisch, PhD, is a consulting psychologist who has traveled from traditional Industrial/Organizational psychology (PhD Rice University) and its application to human resources processes (PepsiCo) to assessment and executive coaching (PDI) and finally to coach training and case supervision (iCoachNewYork). While he had many years of practice as a coach in a wide range of organizational contexts, his more recent focus is on supporting the growth and development of organizationally sponsored coaches, both internal and external. He has spoken and published on these topics and hopes that this book further normalizes the path from psychologist to professional coach.
