The Coach's Way: A Complete Guide to Powerful Coaching

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR PROFESSIONAL COACHES AND SELF-COACHES In this first-of-its-kind book, a revered master coach explains exactly how coaches can conduct meaning-filled sessions -- and how clients can best benefit from the coaching they receive. Eric Maisel presents thirteen weeks of short daily lessons where you'll learn the nuts and bolts of coaching -- what to say when, how to ask questions, and crucially, how to manifest the spirit of coaching. Maisel guides you to: - understand yourself so that you can better understand others. - prep for coaching with a deep awareness of your and your clients' goals and mission. - ask quality questions, handle defensiveness, and grapple with limited progress. - cheer and encourage to get action and results. Supremely practical, each of Maisel's lessons ends with exercises and a journal prompt. The result is an easy-to-use, field-tested guide for current coaches and coaches in training (as well as managers, mentors, and teachers) and an invaluable resource for anyone working with a coach or thinking about working with one.
