Items related to The Mindful Coach: Seven Roles for Helping People Grow
Synopsis
If your work requires that you elicit the best from other people, this book is for you. Written for professionals in many fields, The Mindful Coach combines a practical roadmap for motivating people, enrolling them in their own development, and supporting them in reaching for their potential. The book describes a coaching process that delivers these results, and that is broad enough to apply across many fields.
The Mindful Coach distinguishes between seven roles in the coaching process, and suggests that, integrated and deployed skillfully, these roles provide a practical roadmap for any coaching conversation. Sample dialogues show each role in practice, and the text offers comments and guidelines for the use of each.
The uniqueness of the book is in large part due to the strong emphasis placed on the development of the coach. While the book draws from Buddhist thought, it is also very practical in providing the tools and methods to ensure that coach is as authentic and engaged as possible with the person being coached, and that the coaching process is truly accountable to the learner. This ethical commitment, with the corresponding exhortation to provide true service to the learner, provides a refreshing and powerful theme that runs throughout the book.
With 26 exercises, a complete index, references, and access to on-line development tools, this book provides all you need to move your coaching to the next level.

From the Inside Flap
Nearly everyone coaches at one time or another. As parents, teachers, managers, consultants, executives, therapists, or clergy, we foster the learning and growth of others as a seminal aspect of our relationships with them. Emphasizing a potent combination of self-awareness, partnering, and the skillful deployment of coaching roles, The Mindful Coach provides an essential roadmap for anyone responsible for supporting the development of people.
The Mindful Coach unites modern Buddhist perspectives on mindfulness with the Septet Model, an architecture for entering and navigating the coaching relationship. The model differentiates and applies seven key roles played by all professionals charged with promoting growth and change. Artfulness in coaching requires using these distinct "Voices"--- Master, Partner, Investigator, Reflector, Teacher, Guide, Contractor --- flexibly in service to the learning needs of those we are developing.
Coaching is ultimately about the learner, not the coach. Through the cultivation of mindfulness, we become able to recognize and suspend our own agendas and judgments to place ourselves truly in service to the learner. The results? Strong coaching partnerships. Developed, self-reliant and fulfilled people. Higher levels of effectiveness and performance. Self mastery for both coach and client.
This book shows how.
