Maisel guides you to: • understand yourself so that you can better understand others. • prep for coaching with a deep awareness of your and your clients’ goals and mission. • ask quality questions, handle defensiveness, and grapple with limited progress. • cheer and encourage to get action and results. Supremely practical, each of Maisel’s lessons ends with exercises and a journal prompt. The result is an easy-to-use, field-tested guide for current coaches and coaches in training (as well as managers, mentors, and teachers) and an invaluable resource for anyone working with a coach or thinking about working with one.
