As a coach you want to move people, you want to empower them to set their own course with more strength and confidence. You use a wide spectrum of methods and techniques, but sometimes you need to know how to deploy a specific intervention with more accuracy.
The How-to-Book For Coaching teaches you this, in practical How-to-language. How do you start a good confrontation? How do you respond to stress? How do you broaden ones perspective? How do you work with polarities? And how do you do nothing? In thirty How-to’s, you read example dialogues, questionnaires, conversational models and checklists. In addition, the authors have introduced a solid vision on coaching.
This makes the How-to-Book For Coaching a valuable and practical book for everyone that is working as a professional coach or learning to become one. Filled with tips and interventions, it is a practical reference book for every coach and anyone working on their own development.
