The book behind one of the best-known coach training models — how to hold a client-led conversation built on curiosity and accountability.
A practical introduction to the Co-Active model: the client is whole and resourceful, the agenda is theirs, and the coach's job is listening, powerful questions and holding them to what they chose.
Life, career and executive coaches who want a coherent model to practise, rather than a toolbox of techniques.
It reads like a training manual, because it is one. Work through the exercises with a practice client; reading alone changes little.
