Episode 98: Recommended Read for Coaches

We fully recognise that you don't learn to coach by reading a book; you have to practice coaching to improve your craft. However, we have both read a vast array of coaching books and have another sizeable collection on our Kindles, waiting for us to find the time to explore. We also have our favourites that we continue to dip into to remind us of theories, tools and techniques that we have encountered. In addition, we love a good book recommendation, and are often asked for them by our trainees. So, in this episode, we are exploring some of the books that could be added to your 'to be read' list, in relation to different coaching approaches - and we throw in a few extra tombs that aren't really coaching books, but we love them!   Resources: How To Coach by Bob Thomson https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-coach-first-steps-and-beyond/bob-thomson/9781526484789 Time To Think; Listening to Ignite The Human Mind by Nancy Kline https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/time-to-think-listening-to-ignite-the-human-mind-nancy-kline/355555?ean=9780706377453 Solution Focused Coaching in Practice by Bill O'Connell, Stephen Palmer, and Helen Williams https://www.routledge.com/Solution-Focused-Coaching-in-Practice/OConnell-Palmer-Williams/p/book/9780415447072?srsltid=AfmBOoptL9YtDyG1IIbQoWoJGMjsXcLttj57nYnBAkZnyrd4MKv5Mwh3 Positive Psychology Coaching in Practice Edited by Suzy Green and Stephen Palmer https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/positive-psychology-coaching-in-practice-suzy-green/3996488 Positive Psychology: Theory, Research and Applications by Ilona Boniwell and Aneta D.
