50 Top Tools for Coaching: A Complete Toolkit for Developing and Empowering People

Very happy with amazon thank you

Really useful set of tips. Recommended.

This is a quite specialised book for a specialist audience, yet even the more curious generalist could get something out of it if they try. This book is effectively a secret look into the toolkit of a coach, giving 50 top tools that can help transform a coaching situation. The authors set out to provide the reader with the right mix of techniques, preparative aids and analytics assistance to really provide a powerful “coaching experience” for clients. You may consider yourself to be a top-flight coach already, but any elite sports trainer will tell you, keeping an eye on what other experts do can yield benefits as, at this level, even a marginal improvement can move mountains. For the rest of us, this book will help you up your game. There is something for everyone; maybe you need to tighten up your provision of the relationship, perhaps you must work on increasing your client’s confidence and enhancing their performance or maybe you are not so hot on developing a leadership style. From start to finish, you are given it all. You still have to implement it, react to the information and deliver. This is a coach for a coach, in other words. A guide, not a rigid template. If you don’t know what you are doing then either you are a coach who needs a lot more practical help and education or a general reader; here this book might be a bit too overwhelming but perseverance and a positive attitude can pay off. For those who are more experienced in the art of coaching, it might be a little goldmine. That’s it really. Short and sweet. It seems to do what it says on the tin and then some more. It can either deliver major renovation assistance to your coaching skillset or just let you further polish an already polished operation. Either way, what do you have to fear?

As a coach, I found this to be a great compilation of extremely powerful and practical tools that can apply to individual or group coaching sessions along with workshops. The tools provided are a great way to help keep your sessions on track, provide a clear focus, and record tasks and progress. Overall, this book has been a great resource to create meaningful progress and achieve more with clients.

About a third of the book was blank, and from the page numbers it is obviously a printing issue.
