The Coaching Companion
& Leverage Your Leader-Coach
For those working with a professional coach
For those seeking coaching from their leader
The Coaching Companion book series is a fantastic resource for everyone who seeks coaching.
We believe that building an individual’s capacity to be coached is critically important and that using this resource will elevate the quality of the coaching experience for everyone - even those who work with masterful coaches.
Why?
The impact of coaching is largely a function of an individual’s ability to fully leverage the coaching they receive.
Coaches’ skills are based on hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of training and experience. Those who receive coaching, on the other hand, often have very few resources or experiences on which to build their capacity to be coached. Given that a coach’s success is, by definition, the coachee’s success, we believe that building an individual’s capacity to be coached is critically important.
The Coaching Companion and Leverage Your Leader-Coach are filled with guidance on how to maximize the coaching experience, whether you are working with a professional coach or your leader-coach. They will help you prepare for coaching conversations, communicate your goals and experiences clearly, translate insight into action, and ultimately maximize your return on investment.
Coaches and leaders, consider this: The Coaching Companion helps the people you coach understand the importance of their role in the growth process so that they may approach their personal and professional development more thoughtfully and intentionally. Integrating The Coaching Companion into your approach is simple.
