The Human Behind the Coach: How great coaches transform themselves first

by Mike Hunter

People may come away from a coaching session feeling it didn’t quite hit the mark despite their skills and knowledge. It’s not just the words we use; it’s the music, the lyrics and the dance of the conversation that make a difference to the quality of the outcome, and getting these right demands not just skill but humanity. This book explores the human qualities that great coaches need to develop — humility, vulnerability, courage and more — based on research from thousands of real coaching sessions, with stories, reflections, practical examples and tips for individuals on how to develop themselves and their work.

This is a book for anyone who wants to deepen their work without adding more tools and techniques, and who is willing to do some deeper work in service of having more transformational conversations.
