Mentor...teacher...guide...friend...a coach is all of these, and
more. "Sterling Lanier," author of "'#COACHING tweet Book01'," has
decades of experience coaching CEOs and CEOs-in-the-wings, and
knows that coaching is no secret or magical process. Rather it is
the art of inspiring, encouraging and motivating people through
active listening, by asking thoughtful and thought-provoking
questions and helping to set ambitious but realistic goals and
action plans. It is a journey of self discovery, as much for the
coach as for the person being coached.
In the corporate world, a typical 'coaching' session consists of
an annual manager or supervisor soliloquy in which the employee
receives 'a mound of criticism sandwiched between two thin slices
of praise.' Instead, as Sterling shares with us, coaching should
consist of a series of frequent dialogs between employee and
manager on the employee's goals, action plans, measurement
milestones, alignment to corporate direction, and resources needed
for improvement.
In "'#COACHING tweet Book01'," Sterling has distilled his
practical experience into bite-sized insights on the power,
practices and sheer joy of coaching. Individual sections cover
coaching philosophy--coaching from the heart and being fully
present in the moment--and coaching practices, which reveal the
tools of the trade, including such subtleties as ensuring
non-judgmental listening and peeling back the layers so that
clients voice the hidden issues.
This little gem is written in the popular tweet format, which
makes it easy to read but also, even more important, easy to
immediately put to good use in your own work and life. As Sterling
succinctly puts it, anyone can seize the opportunity to be a coach
for someone--for a friend, a colleague, a business associate, even
a family member or a child. "#COACHING tweet" sets you on the path
to being a successful coach--here and now.
'#COACHING tweet Book01' is part of the THINKaha series whose
100-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes
(tweets/ahas).
