Growing in my thinking as a coach
Thanks for writing this . Very helpful in bite size learning and thinking as I grow in my understanding of coaching. Loved the different articles that were referred to. All was Short and to the point. Would love to see how you get from empathy to objective and still know you have the heart of the client. I understand it's need but since this is my weakness would like to see more illustrations there. Plus the balcony one too. How do you do both without sounding preachy? I have been known for not feeling enough with people before moving on ir at least voicing it. But I figured I practiced the other concepts and change my thinking and focus on the person and not trying to fix it I think the others will follow. :). This paper gave me much to think on and try on as I became more aware of my thinking and changing it. I encourage others to read it as they grow to be a better coach or even thinking of becoming a coach. Thank you.
A Good Resource for Coaches
To assume that an Ebook of this small size couldn't possibly expand your coaching knowledge or enhance your coaching practice would be to miss a good read and a great learning opportunity.

New coaches wading through vast amounts of content from their coach training program will discover principles that are most helpful and needful to focus on and master first. Seasoned coaches will be challenged to reflect on how effectively they are utilizing some foundational coaching principles and gain new insight about how they could be put into practice in an even more effective way.
Get it and read it - you will not regret!
At the risk of repeating what others reviewers have written - quite incredible what this small volume is able to accomplish in such a modest and parsimonious publication. A lot of bang for very little buck. I found the insights both inspiring and implementable. Especially well suited for those not reading or thinking about coaching for the first time ever. Many books on the topic begin with ABC and it takes a lot of sifting to get to intermediate and advance gems such as those this 1hr read is packed full of. Wholeheartedly recommended!
2 big insights.
One of the big insights I got from this book is a great coach creates a safe space for the client to express his agenda, and I think that's crucial and that's what many specialists in help relationships (therapists, coaches,...) fail to provide. Without this vital element, the help relationship goes in every possible direction but not to the heart of the issue. To make others feel safe with you requires a difficult condition: to feel first safe with yourself! Another great insight is to trust your client has the necessary resources to resolve his issues; and again, this requires from you first to trust yourself to do it!
Half Way There To Thinking Like A True Coach
I purchased The Coaching Mindset:8 ways to think like a coach, earlier today. I am a very new entrepreneur and I am finding it a little difficult for me to assert myself, especially when I am asked by my peers for help. This short book was such a great read and the amount of information it contained was explained in a straight forward, direct manner. I am the type of person that needs to learn in a direct approach without all the extra details that I never end of up remembering anyways. I am very pleased that I purchased this today and I will be implementing his 8 steps along my journey to becoming a better person, co-worker and hopefully mentor. Sooner than later.
It’s okay
I’m a school administrator trying to become better at coaching my staff. I’m also trying to develop some professional development strategies to help my staff coach their students. This ebook is very basic and not exactly a fit for my needs. Still, there are a few things I learned and can use. I really appreciate the brevity and directness.
Good for the beginner or novice
This is a quick read. It is a good overview of ideas a well established coach utilizes. Each of the ideas could be elaborated upon. The distinction of primitive questions needs further elaboration before a coach could use this strategy.
Moving away from the role of being helpful
I would recommend this book to new coaches. It's a challenge to change roles from being the helpful one to being the one who highlights the clients genus. I taught coaching in a local church and this was the greatest challenge. The small group was kind hearted and eager to help. A coaching mindset that focuses on the client being resource and creative was difficult for them. I wish I h as this book back then. It describes simply the coaching mind set that goes beyond helping to empowering. My only complaint of the book is that it ended too quickly.
The author packed in a lot of value...
There were so many details in a small space. I am happy to read a short book with this much really helpful content. Very well written.
Great, short, powerful. A must for coaches.
Short and easy read, and as other book of Chad Hall it is an enlightening one. It shows you what makes a good coach good and what can ruin someone who just starts coaching. I enjoyed the book and will apply it in my practice with clients.
