Have you ever started coaching someone despite feeling uncertain about their readiness? Do you wish your clients would immerse themselves in deeper thinking?
It's frustrating and unfulfilling when clients don't leverage the potential from coaching. It can feel like you're working harder than they are, striving to create value on their behalf. But remember: your job isn't to create value from coaching - it's to be a catalyst for it.
As a coach, your role is to manage the process, enabling the thinker to access their inner wisdom, connect the dots for themselves and find their own answers that resonate with their personality, context, motivations, beliefs and values. For this to happen, the thinker must be ready and willing to take on the responsibility of creating value and achieving results - they need to be 'coaching ready.'
In this pioneering and sometimes provocative guide, Master Coach Clare Norman explores your influence on the coaching experience from start to finish. With clear guidance, accessible advice and supportive practices you'll gain transformative skills that will shift responsibility for creating value from coach to thinker and, in organisations, the task of screening for coachability to the coaching custodian.
It takes cooperation and collaboration to nurture coachability, agency and self-efficacy. Through Clare's rich experiences, relatable case studies and holistic strategies, you'll discover how to redefine the coaching experience, develop truly engaged thinkers and reignite your passion for transformational coaching.
Do you ever doubt your coaching style is achieving the best results for your clients? Have you ever felt there's room for growth, but you're not sure how to achieve it?
To create a more sustainable transformation in the people you coach, you need to start with your own mindset. As a coach, you know you can't change what you do, unless you alter what you believe first.
By shedding the ineffective scripts, trappings and beliefs that a lifetime of personal interactions, professional training and even your parents have taught you, you can reset your thinking to a beginner's mentality and so begin a fulfilling and exciting journey to coaching mastery.
In this fresh and highly effective field guide, Master Mentor Coach, Clare Norman gets into your head to help you pinpoint the attitudes that you need to unlearn and reframe. Through Clare's rich experience, illuminating real-life stories, and practical guidance you can shift towards more useful thinking and powerful skillsets by:
It's time to ditch the old beliefs that are holding you back, free your thinking and make the move from getting transactional results to being a transformational coach.

A delightful twist on the French life memoir, Living & Loving in the Lot recounts the adventures of Heather Buchanan, a Kiwi who realised a lifelong love of all things French and a dream to live in France.
Doing so in her mid-sixties, Heather's belief that you should live life to the full whatever your age fuelled her courage to leave her beloved New Zealand along with treasured pets, Loulou and Chouchou, to start a new life in a small village in the Lot. In turn tender and funny, enlightening and inspiring, Heather's tale weaves its way from Aukland to Paris taking us on a journey through France filled with village fêtes and local markets, the perils of not quite learning French, swimming in rivers, the essence of French style, and creating treasured friendships and unexpected opportunities. This is her very personal story of taking risks, facing challenges, creating a new life and, quite literally, falling in love with all things French.

In this ground-breaking book, Asesh Sarkar presents a visionary solution for the widening rift between everyday people and shareholders within contemporary capitalist systems and societies.
Sarkar compellingly argues that this gap - where economic growth is realised primarily through corporate profits and favours shareholders over the general population - is fuelling impoverishment and risking the potential for mass social unrest. Here he introduces an innovative approach that business leaders can leverage to make capitalism work for all.
Enter the Customer Co-ownership Economy - a revolutionary model where companies align capitalism with wealth distribution by allocating shares to customers, transforming them into vested 'co-owners' with a stake in the company's success.
Drawing on robust economic reasoning, supported by academic research and insights, Sarkar champions this ownership structure as a win-win scenario. Businesses will enjoy heightened loyalty, goodwill and share of wallet, invaluable market insights to improve R&D, plus an engaged investor base that's vital to growth and success. Customers will gain wealth through share ownership, regular dividends, financial literacy and a voice in corporate decisions.
Through vivid anecdotes and clear modelling, Sarkar artfully illustrates the transformative potential of the Co-owned concept, demonstrating its compelling commercial benefits for businesses, substantial wealth generation for households, and a profoundly positive impact on society.
Powerful in its simplicity and logic, by making a persuasive case for his 'capitalist cure' to recalibrate business and society, Sarkar provides an optimistic path for concerned business leaders and policymakers grappling with capitalism's flaws, promising a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
