Business Coaching by Chris Farmer

How to Successfully Coach, Train, and Inspire Others

Business Coaching Book

If you were to discover that there was one verbal skill that would dramatically improve your ability to coach and counsel others more effectively, would you be willing to practice it until you were an expert?

That one vital skill is asking intelligent questions, which require a response in either thought or action. It is not good enough just to make a statement which is an assertion of what you think is true.

The book emphasises the point that, when coaching and counselling, you should ask more questions, and make fewer assertions. Questions can be used creatively to ask for agreement, gently challenge a belief, gain involvement, generate options and clarify thinking.

This is just one of a wide range of effective and creative ideas that the book covers. This book is available for £9.99 plus £2 post and packaging.

Customer Reviews

Here are a selection of reviews for our training courses.

  • Chris was very clear and precise in his choice of words. I truly found it all to be very beneficial. The trainer's presentation was very helpful, I enjoyed the visual aids, charts, graphs provided, which simplified all the information, making it easy to take in!

  • I found the conflict management tools, wrong box/right box, very helpful. As was delegation and time management. It is helpful to reinforce these things and stops you just acting to type (which sometimes isn't the right course of action). The trainer kept things moving with good momentum, energy and examples. I always find examples helpful and it was good to give delegates time to share their own examples/ideas too.

  • The course was very well-rounded and structured in an easily digestible manner. Creating typologies, formats and visual guided were fantastic. Overall, using reason as the anchor for all content was great - makes sense and practical! The presentation was really thorough, engaging and encouraging. Made sure content was reiterated and understood by all delegates.
