Breakthrough Coaching - by Marcia Reynolds (Paperback)

About the Book

"A new, highly actionable field guide on breaking through the narratives holding us back from creating the change we want to see in ourselves, from a founding member of the coaching movement. People often resist change, even if it's in their best interest. They live their lives holding onto familiar constructs and fixed personal narratives instead of pursuing their dreams. This is where Breakthrough Coaching comes in. In this book, seasoned coach Marcia Reynolds introduces a coaching method based on psychological safety to help you help others to open up and break down the walls of confusion and fear created by their inherited beliefs and unsupported assumptions. By infusing your everyday conversations with tools and strategies such as: embodying a coaching mindset, learning when to coach the person and not the problem, and turning insights into actionable commitments, you can help open people's minds to become objective observers of their own stories in ways not possible with self-reflection alone. Long-term behavioral change can be tricky and scary. But by adopting the Breakthrough Coaching methods, anyone can become a coach and help others bring meaningful change into their lives"--
