The IOC Invites you to join our Book Club, which will meet once a month. We will spend two meetings per book, one for a review of the major themes and the other for specialized topic dives related to your coaching practice.

In The Collective Edge, Colin Fisher explores how groups—whether work teams, social communities, or organizations—can access a deeper, often hidden, “collective intelligence” that surpasses what any individual alone can achieve. Drawing on decades of psychological and organizational research, Fisher reveals that the key to high-performing groups isn’t changing individual members, but understanding and shaping the dynamics between them.

This book offers valuable insights for coaches working with teams or navigating relational complexity, and invites reflection on how to support groups in cultivating stronger, more effective collaboration. Join us in the upcoming IOC Book Club sessions to explore how these concepts can enhance your coaching practice.
