Low Cost Options to Begin to Learn Coaching, Part I
This is part one of a two part series where we will discuss some low cost ways to begin learning coaching skills. I do not recommend that anyone launch into a coaching certification training as a first step. While I highly recommend coach training & certification, it is a costly & time consuming process. Starting with books and shorter workshops & courses is a great way to get started.
In this episode, we will breakdown my top three book recommendations that are great places to start as an OT that's interested in learning coaching skills.
The books are as follows (all are available on Amazon and, as of this recording, each book is under $30):
Enabling Positive Change: Coaching Conversations in Occupational Therapy by Wendy Pentland, Jen Gash, Jeanette Isaacs-Young and Amy Heinz
This book was written by OT's for OT's. It is a compilation of 15 ICF-accredited coach-trained OT's in 5 continents around the world discussing what coaching
is; what it looks like and what it can do for our profession.
Co-Active Coaching: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work & Life by Laura Whitworth, Henry Kinsey-House and Phil Sardahl.
This is the "coaching bible"--it is the book that launched the profession of coaching. Originally published in 1998, it is now in its 4th version with a slighly
different title, "Co-Active Coaching: The Proven Framework for Transformative Conversations at Work and in Life"
Coach the Person, Not the Problem: A Guide to Using Reflective Inquiry by Marcia Reynolds
This book captures the true essence of coaching---going beyond the basics of open ended questions and into a deeper inquiry of powerful questions. It also teaches the coach the art of how to respond--identifying the client's desired outcome, reflecting back what's getting in their way and holding space so the client feels understood & safe. This book teaches coaches to be catalysts for change and is all about how to recharge the human spirit.
