There's not much to this coaching thing, right? All you have to do is figure out how to help someone plan, prepare for, and execute massive changes in their professional or personal life... no big deal!
The truth is, coaching isn't a piece of cake. You know this, and we know this. Coaching takes skill - lots of it. And like anything else, it takes practice - lots of it.
If you're a new coach, an old coach, or even if your'e just considering becoming a coach you're probably going to need some resources to help you be the best possible coach that your client could possibly imagine. The problem isn't that you don't know what needs to be done - the problem is that you have to chart the course for how it's going to happen, and then guide the expedition.
It's not so much the "what" that you're likely to need help with - it's the "how".
You don't need long, philosophical chapters about what coaching is and why its great - you need tools, resources, tips, and real-life examples from people who have been doing it for years.
"Essential Coaching Secrets to Coaching Success: Understanding What Works and Doing it Right" gives you just that. This interactive guidebook, produced by the Leadership Innovations Team, is your indispensible partner as you embark on your journey to take your coaching discipline to the next level.
Essential Coaching Secrets covers all of the key skills that distinguish good coaches from great coaches. From listening skills (with corresponding exercises for practice) to a full exploration of the Cycle of Powerful Coaching, this guidebook takes you from "what" to "how" in an interactive, engaging format.
Still wondering how words on pages are going to somehow make you "see" the application of critical coaching principles?
We were too.
And because we understand the power of observation, we've produced a DVD containing comprehensive footage of three real-life, real-time coaching sessions. You'll watch as the coach navigates and deals with resistance, successfully enages in various levels of listening to become truly "in tune" with the client, and uses a variety of the skills and techniques covered throughout the guidebook.
In addition to the main content and DVD, we've also included an extensive appendix with over 30 pages worth of resources including checklists, logs, development plan templates, and feedback worksheets that you can photocopy and begin using right away.
This book and DVD package is truly one-of-a-kind. We've focused on making it practical, accessible, and most of all, useful and we're pretty sure that once you've got it within your grasp, you're going to reach for it every day.
