Supercoaching - my highlights
Supercoaching - Graham Alexander and Ben Renshaw
Excellent book which I would recommend to anyone in a coaching or mentoring position. Some takeaways that triggered some thoughts.
"Coaching is all about helping people fulfilling results in their professional and personal lives."
Three quotes
“Your prime purpose in life is to help others” Dalai Lama
“A goal properly set is halfway reached” – A Lincoln
“We want to achieve successful, measurable outcomes”- G Alexander
All high achievers in any walk of life, sport or business have coaches / mentors
There were 10000 business coaches in US – it is predicted there will be 50000 by 2007.
Tiger Woods paid Butch Harman $1m a year to be his coach when he was world number one golfer.
The word mentor came from Greek mythology . Odysseus gave the responsibility to his friend Mentor to teach his son while he was travelling.
There are 4 Inputs of a coach

3 - Make suggestions
4 - Give input - feedback
Types of questions
Open – What – How
Closed – Did – should – would – will have – is

Analytical – Why
Words to use and not use in coaching

What about
What is good life?
1950 – 2005 – in Britain and in Australia – despite being richer people generally are unhappier.
Material wealth seems to make people more isolated.
The pressure and need for both money and time are causing such a conflict that stress levels are at their highest recorded level. 75% GP appointments are stress related costing the NHS £3.7bn in 2004. Coaching can help you and it can help you help others
“Does life ring a bell and we salivate”– stimulus response. Care
Performance issues a coach might include
Heightening self awareness and self management
Developing astute relationship management
Building strengths and mitigating weaknesses
Accelerating results and clarifying decisions
Improving execution of the task
Being receptive to learning and development in general

Increasing enjoyment and satisfaction
