Coaching Excellence: Elevating Performance Through Coaching - Softcover

A great coach is all about the truth. First, a coach has to create a coaching environment where a coachee feels psychologically safe so they can be free to speak their truth. Second, a coach has to ask truth-provoking questions so the coachee can see how their own actions or attitudes might be contributing to whatever challenge with which they are contending. Third, a coach has to listen for the truth being spoken (or avoided) by the coachee. Finally, a coach has to provide guidance that helps the coachee live and work in a more honest, authentic, and truthful way. Coaches and consultants can use the Coaching Excellence workbook to become more thoughtful, attentive, observant, impactful, and truthful coaches. This workbook won’t waste your time! The concepts, frameworks, and tips have been road-tested through thousands of coaching conversations over the course of two decades. Pay extra attention to the Martini Method toward the end, along the powerful Q Cards tool that is mentioned there.
