What if I could?: How to be your own coach
‘What If I Could?’ is a handbook for people who want to take themselves on a journey of intentional change.
Written in everyday language, with cases in point, a wealth of handy helpful hints about how to change, how to unstick yourself and further ideas for how to develop yourself, ‘What If I Could?’ is a practical, hands-on guide to working on your own development.
It is not a book to be read from cover to cover in one sitting. It asks you how you would like your future to be and then asks you questions designed to make you think deeper and differently to usual, to design experiments and then to try them out, so that you work step-by-step towards your desired Think big and start small. So, dip in and out. Read, think, be curious and then come back for more.
‘What If I Could?’ is a manual for how to coach yourself, whose defining feature is the sheer amount of thought provoking, evocative questions which follow each section. It is these ‘powerful’ questions which will take you much further and much deeper than questions usually do. They are your main tool for learning about yourself, your ‘typical you’, and how to change your mind. These questions will make you your own thinking partner and your accountability partner. You’ll also become your own challenger and your own greatest supporter.
Written by one of Britain’s foremost coach trainers, Colin Brett draws on over 20+ years of experience at the helm of Coaching Development Ltd. A life-long learner, Colin holds qualifications in coaching, counselling and training, and is a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst and an interfaith minister.
