The 10th anniversary audio edition of the million-copy bestseller that has revolutionized coaching -- with brand new content.
The Coaching Habit “un-weirded” coaching and made it practical and accessible to everyone. Ten years on, and that skill has never been more relevant.
It’s not just for coaches. It’s for managers, leaders, parents… in fact anyone who works and lives with other people. Being more coach-like and staying curious longer with those around you helps you connect more deeply, focus on what matters, and bring out each other’s best.
Discover what more than a million readers have already learned about how to unlock peoples’ potential by understanding the simple power of seven essential coaching questions. Its practical wisdom is grounded in neuroscience and behavioral economics research and enhanced with additional video support.
In this special audio edition:
- A brand-new chapter on how to deepen the power of any coaching exchange by the way you show up. It teaches the four essential coaching paradoxes: be confident and humble, light and grounded, fierce and loving, and caring while not caring.
- Two “secret chapters” on how to create your own coaching questions, so you can expand and deepen your own coaching repertoire.
- Bonus conversations include interviews and coaching examples with Brené Brown, Shaka Senghor, Will Guidara, Joseph Nguyen, Oliver Burkeman, Jefferson Fisher, Liz Wiseman, Bree Groff, Dan Coyle, and Dolly Chugh.
The Coaching Habit will help you master one of the most powerful human skills: staying curious just a little longer.
