Description

Equipping coaches with tools and techniques to face every coaching situation, authors Gillian Jones and Ro Gorell explain how to how assess clients' needs, select the right tool for the circumstance, and deliver effective coaching with confidence.

This fully revised and updated third edition of 50 Top Tools for Coaching includes a greater emphasis on professional qualification and accreditation, enhanced tools on self-development and strategy, a brand-new addition of transactional analysis tools, and an increased amount of career coaching tools. The authors have also solicited feedback from readers to create a "readers' top tools" section and they provide real-life examples from coaches on how the tools in the book have helped them be more successful and serve their clients better.

Advance Praise

This is one of the few books I keep returning to. Whether you are a new coach or an experienced coach there are always things that you can learn or remind yourself of how to do better. Gillian and Ro have a wonderful knack of explaining what to do in a very practical way as well as sharing the benefits of doing so both for yourself and for the client. A great handbook for every coach's bookshelf!

This book is a gift to coaches--50 different protocols, questioning techniques, activities, exercises, reflection prompts and more to broaden your methods for interacting with clients. You might find a tip for improving one of your current tools or an entirely new idea that will work just right for that client that doesn't "get" your favorite one. I particularly liked some subtle variations to my favorite problem-solving tool and a new method for helping a client get clear about goals. And, if you think one of the tools in the book seems crazy or off-base, think for a moment as to who you know that would love it--it might be worth a try.

Thanks, NetGalley, for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Whenever I pick up a book of this nature, I am not expecting to read it with a view to embracing everything contained within the pages. What I am looking for are pointers and ideas that can be used as tools for specific occasions or to challenge my own methods and maybe make more minor adjustments. This book has certainly done that and is worthy of a place on your bookshelf.
