A Must-Read for all coaches
A compelling, clear, and inspirational read. This book should be on the recommended reading list for all coaches - aspiring, training, qualified and experienced coaches.
The book focuses on eighty-three mindsets that we need to unlearn that we learned at different stages of our lives: parents and carers, school, peers, work, , managers, our coach training and our coaching experience.
Although aimed at coaches the book is relevant to leaders and anyone who wishes to create sustainable transformation in others.
I would have welcomed a pullout summary of the eighty-three mindset shifts as a reference to consider which ones I would personally like to pay attention to in my coaching sessions.

September 9, 2023I am not a professional coach, which is the target audience for this book so I don’t feel like I can give a credible star rating here.
That said, I do think a lot of the lessons can apply to anyone who is taking a coaching approach to managing a team. This book also provides a thoughtful, structured approach to reflecting on lessons we’ve learned through our lives, assessing whether they are serving us well, and considering what may serve us better.

I appreciate 1) its breadth as it covers beliefs from relevant areas of a coach's life and 2) its specificity as it detects the thoughts with precision while it offers more useful options.

Must read for all coaches. A resource you’ll want to revisit time and time again. It will challenge, transform and reframe the way you coach. I only wish I had this on my reading list when training.
