Succeeding as a Coach is aimed at coaches who have completed their training and are looking to take the next steps on their professional journey. It provides insights from expert practitioners in a uniquely concise format, with frequently asked questions discussed in bitesize chapters that allows any coach or trainee to quickly find the specific guidance they need to add new ideas to their coaching repertoire. The content is divided into five sections: Section 1 deals with training, setting up in practice, attracting business, and planning sessions; Section 2 looks at starting a session and establishing the coaching relationship; Section 3 covers core skills such as reflection, listening, questioning, and the coaching mindset; Section 4 explores how to manage time and close sessions; and finally Session 5 considers wider coaching issues such as supervision, personal development, and developing self-awareness.
