"A coaching necessity"
"A fabulous coaching book and a real must-have"
"Reading this book is like being a coach, a client, a supervisor, a student of coaching, and in relationship with all of those people all at once! It also achieves that remarkable thing, and rare, of being both friendly and rigorous, gentle and challenging, calm and pacey. Its ingenious structure provides an instantly digestible feast of learning. It is a triumph! But who would expect anything less from these two extraordinary, pioneering, brilliant coaches?"
--Nancy Kline, bestselling author of Time to Think
Our strengths can become our weaknesses. Our traits and habitual behaviours can become traps. In each chapter of The Coach's Casebook the reader follows a skilled coach working with a client who is struggling with one of the twelve traits which every coach will face in their coaching work - traits such as people pleasing, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, performance anxiety and procrastination. The coach shares their emotions, their thought processes and their reflections as they try to understand the psychological origins of these behaviours and to work out how to help their client. The Coach's Casebook includes inspirational insights from individuals who have triumphed over such traits and have succeeded in all walks of life figures such as Alec Stewart and Lewis Moody from the world of sport, Greg Dyke from the world of business, and Arctic explorer Pen Hadow. This book is a great book for leader development and has been used extensively for executive leadership for results but is above all designed to help you in your work as a coach. It gives you practical, tried and tested techniques which you can use today to improve your coaching habits and coaching practice to help your clients to change the habits of a lifetime.
Both Kim and Geoff are thought leaders in business coaching and mentoring as well as coaching supervision and use this book to explain the key coaching principles in their coaching practice to help you develop great coaching habits.
