As a thought leader and mentor in the coaching space, I often receive inquiries from people who want to explore coaching as a profession or a skillset,<\/strong> and who seek advice from someone who successfully navigated that path already. In a 20-minute conversation, I can load them up with ideas and resources about coaching. Central to my advice is a reminder that coaching \u2013 well, GOOD coaching, at any rate \u2013 is not \u201cjust\u201d something you learn how to do, like writing a contract or delivering a speech.<\/p>\n

You must also examine who you are and how you show up in the world, and deeply understand the mindset(s) that you bring into your coaching conversations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently our local coaching chapter hosted the author and researcher, Marilee Adams Ph.D., author of Change Your Questions, Change Your Life<\/strong><\/em>, a book about the mindset of Inquiry.<\/p>\n

Are you a Judger or a Learner?<\/strong> Do the questions you ask (self and others) seek blame or possibility? The book made her a rock star of sorts in the coaching world.<\/p>\n

I told Marilee that her book is one of the five top titles I recommend to people who seek to understand what coaching\u2019s all about.<\/strong> She asked, \u201cWhat are the others?\u201d I snapped this picture to share with her, and now I share with you.<\/p>\n

The other titles include:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Portable Coach<\/strong> is a classic that was part of my inspiration years ago when I had the opportunity to work with its author, Thomas Leonard, one of the founders of the coaching profession.<\/p>\n

Co-Active Coaching<\/strong><\/em> is still one of the best \u201chow to\u201d manuals on the topic, chock full of tools and questions and coaching frameworks that appeal both to newbie and veteran practitioners.<\/p>\n

Loving What Is<\/strong><\/em>, by Byron Katie, can be a tough read. It challenges the worldview of suffering and introduces you to The Work, a process to reframe every judgment you make about others.<\/p>\n

One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way<\/strong><\/em> plays into the power of tiny changes that gradually build to powerful processes.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your learning journey!<\/p>\n

And when you need support, give me a call. \u00a0I meet for dark coffee!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
