Coaching and developing people is a critical capability of leaders in any field. This book provides a practical method for doing this more skillfully, based on a proven approach. The reader looking for a set of skills and tools will be happy with the practical tools included here.
The book, however, goes beyond tools and skills. The uniqueness of this book is the particular emphasis on the corresponding development of the coach. The act of coaching itself, when entered into by a thoughtful practitioner, provides a constant invitation to learning.
In my own work with leaders in business, government, and education, I've often felt that I was learning alongside those I was working for. The underlying premise of this book is that we can't truly serve the learning of others unless we are, at the same time, doing our own work. As you coach, you must also be a learner. It's my hope that the book will both inspire and guide you toward this end.
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.
