Binding: Paperback
Description: From a founding member of the coaching movement comes a detailed guide to mastering one of a coach's toughest skills: thoughtfully reflecting clients words and expressions back to them so they see themselves and their world through new eyes." Coaches rely far too much on asking open - ended questions " says Marcia Reynolds. But questions only seek answers - - inquiry provides insight. When instead of just questions clients hear their thoughts opinions and beliefs spoken by someone else it prompts them to critically consider how their thinking affects their goals. Reynolds cites the latest brain science to show why reflective inquiry works and provides techniques tips and structures for creating breakthrough conversations. This book will free coaches from the cult of asking the magical question by offering five essential practices of reflective inquiry: focus on the person not the problem; summarize what is heard and expressed; identify underlying beliefs and assumptions; unwrap the desired outcome; and articulate insights and commitments. Using these practices combined with a respectful and caring presence helps create a space where clients feel safe seen and valued for who they are. Coaches become change agents who actively recharge the human spirit. And clients naturally dive deeper and develop personalized solutions that may surprise even the coach.
