Timothy Gallwey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
W. Timothy Gallwey is an author who has written a series of books in which he has set forth a new methodology for coaching and for the development of personal and professional excellence in a variety of fields, that he calls "The Inner Game." Since he began writing in the 1970s, his books include The Inner Game of Tennis, The Inner Game of Golf, The Inner game of Music, Inner Skiing and The Inner Game of Work.
The inner game is based upon certain principles in which an individual uses non-judgmental observations of critical variables, with the purpose of being accurate about these observations. If the observations are accurate, the person's body will adjust and correct automatically to achieve best performance.
Tim Gallwey's work went on to found the current move in business coaching, life coaching and executive coaching. One of the most well known exponents of business coaching is Sir John Whitmore and his 'GROW ME' model.
