Synopsis

While there is plenty of opportunity for skilled executive coaches, there are no real standards. An exciting new book whose time has come, THE SHERPA GUIDE delivers a solid standard for professional coaches, including a clear, predictable process for business coaching, a timeline for every coaching engagement, and a path through the pitfalls of a very complex and delicate business. The author takes her lead from the Sherpa, the expert native guides who skillfully assist climbers to the top of Mount Everest by enabling, advising, and assisting but not trying to climb for the client. THE SHERPA GUIDE illustrates how to limit the playing field to professional issues and then to allow the client to do the climbing on their way to the summit. Every climb is unique. This resourceful guide equips readers with the tools to coach their clients to their highest goals. It's an excellent guide for executive coaches, trainers, consultants, and HR directors.
