Powerful coaching transforms the 'client's' view of the world. As the coach, you are not solving their problem for them; you are not some wise old sage with the answer to everything. In fact, even if you have the answer, giving it to them is wrong. The general message is to question your way to their solution, not give it to them. If you give it to them, you are not creating a sense of ownership. Instead of empowering, you are probably disempowering.

A powerful coach can lift the coachee out of the hole they feel in by helping them see over the lip – to realise that if standing up straight, the hole is nowhere near as deep as when they came in hunched over.

The powerful coach celebrates every victory and keeps the coachee motivated by reminding them of their commitments, showing them their progress against their goals, and giving them the perspective they have lost.

This book simplifies the practice of powerful coaching for you.

This foundational book provides four simple and practical steps to coaching and working with people. Following these will demystify coaching for you. You will feel empowered to enter coaching relationships with friends, families, and colleagues. Even your reportees and managers in the workplace will benefit from these techniques.
