Sometimes, coaching is talked about like it’s a mystical, mysterious art, practiced only by admitted into the inner circle.
I disagree.
I think the basics are simple. And I think they should be available to everyone.
People who want to be coaches. People who are coaches. And people who don’t want to be a coach … but want to use the power of being more coach-like to build better relationships and better lives for themselves and for others.
My goal for the last twenty years has been to make the tools you need as accessible as possible. I want you to be able to grasp the tricks, techniques and tools of coaching quickly and cheaply.
In four books, I’ve created a foundational tool kit for everyone.
Two books provide the tools and exercises to help people find their best lives. With Great Work and Worthy Goals, they can be a force for change, live better lives and make a difference.
Two books provide on the best questions to ask so you can help people unlock their greatness and change their behavior.
