The Four Greatest Coaching Conversations: Change mindsets, shift attitudes, and achieve extraordinary results

The best coaching book I've ever read.. worth to read. The book is extremly well structured, a lot of example make it practical & useful

insightful, easey to implement with great tools. A great resource for managers

Set to be a classic! And beautifully set up for the next book...I hope you have already started writing it! Some profound simplicity with real depth. The framework makes a great deal of sense, great to see vertical development made accessible like the book upgrade.

I can sometimes struggle socially and being a manager at my workplace are there have been times when I have really struggled to get my point across or to get my team to work affectively. I’m really looking forward to using some of the techniques and thought processes from this book to see if I can make more of an impact to make life a bit easier.I don’t think this book is just for those wanting to learn how to coach as it can definitely be applied to lots of other situations such as management of a team or maybe debates or difficult social situations as well. It is clear and easy to follow and well laid out in the book itself is of good quality with a nice hardback design and dust cover.

The question is whether you can create confidence-building, healthy systems for yourself, and/or others, through a change of mindset. Whether life coaching or working in management, there are times when you need to know how to tackle problems through an adjustment of attitude.The four most important coaching conversation-types are, as we are told in the book, Be, Relate, Inspire, Think. There is, without question, some good advice in here, based on real-life evidence and it might well help some people change the way they tackle their problems; the trouble is the writing. The words ‘coach’, ‘coaching’ and ‘coachee’ come up so often as to cause word-blindness. After a while, the rhetorical questions which pepper the text, are just exhausting. If you can get past the writing style, this could be a helpful book.

Very interesting book, I hope what I've learnt will help me to take over more people management responisbilities at work.

This will definitely be classed as a self help book and be avoided by many. It however teaches you how to respond to different situations when people ask you for help. This is not only limited to coaches and people looking to help others out of situations. The concept is that you can split any conversation into 4 parts depending on what the person wants help with. The chapters highlight the conversations and how you lead them and achieve the results you want. It bases this concept on shifting the mindset rather than just informing someone on how to change and how this will have a more lasting impact. This idea can be used by everyone in my opinion and in everyday settings. You will experience the need for these conversations daily and if you are equipped on how to navigate them you can achieve a lot more than you think. The ideas in this book make a lot of sense and I can see myself implementing these techniques especially because there is a section on the science and evidence that is used to construct these ideas.Inspiring ideas and useful for anyone in a leadership position or the casual reader!
