From a founding member of the coaching movement comes a detailed guide to mastering one of a coach''s toughest skills: thoughtfully reflecting clients'' stated goals and beliefs back to them so they see themselves through new eyes."Coaches rely far too much on asking questions," says Marcia Reynolds. There are several critical aspects of good coaching, and one in particular is often overlooked: the reflective process. Hearing our own words spoken aloud by someone else prompts us to explore if our ideas truly align with our core values and beliefs. It is even more powerful than finding that one magical question. This book will break the reader out of the cult of the powerful question by offering seven essential practices of reflective inquiry: focus on the human, not the problem; summarize what is heard and expressed; notice shifts in emotions; identify underlying beliefs and assumptions; unwrap the desired outcome; keep the conversation on track; and articulate insights and commitments. The utilization of these practices, combined with a respectful and caring presence, helps to create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and valued for who they are, allowing them to naturally dive deeper within.

"A new, highly actionable field guide on breaking through the narratives holding us back from creating the change we want to see in ourselves, from a founding member of the coaching movement. People often resist change, even if it's in their best interest. They live their lives holding onto familiar constructs and fixed personal narratives instead of pursuing their dreams. This is where Breakthrough Coaching comes in. In this book, seasoned coach Marcia Reynolds introduces a coaching method based on psychological safety to help you help others to open up and break down the walls of confusion and fear created by their inherited beliefs and unsupported assumptions. By infusing your everyday conversations with tools and strategies such as: embodying a coaching mindset, learning when to coach the person and not the problem, and turning insights into actionable commitments, you can help open people's minds to become objective observers of their own stories in ways not possible with self-reflection alone. Long-term behavioral change can be tricky and scary. But by adopting the Breakthrough Coaching methods, anyone can become a coach and help others bring meaningful change into their lives"--

Presents fresh research and powerful stories to give voice to a new generation of women driven by challenge and change Offers compelling advice on how to make wandering a life strategy, not just a series of unplanned events Includes probing questions and thought-provoking exercises to help readers find peace in life's chaos and confusion Theres a new generation of high-achieving women today - confident, ambitious, accomplished, driven. And yet, as master coach Marcia Reynolds discovered, many of them are also anxious, discontented, and frustrated. Theyre constantly questioning their purpose, juggling multiple roles, and reevaluating their goals. As a result theyre restless - they move from job to job, from challenge to challenge, almost on impulse. Theyre wander women. Existing personal growth books, so focused on empowerment and encouragement, cant help these women. They dont need to find their voice - they know how to roar. They dont expect balance in their lives - but they long to find peace in the chaos. They arent necessarily focused on gaining a seat in the boardroom - they want projects that mean something or businesses they run on their own. Reynolds helps wander women understand the roots of their restlessness and make their wandering a conscious strategy, not a reaction.
