Bøker av Marcia Reynolds

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"--
