Summary
You're trying to help - but is it working?
Helping others is a good thing. Often, as a leader, manager, doctor, teacher, or coach, it's central to your job. But even the most well-intentioned efforts to help others can be undermined by a simple truth: We almost always focus on trying to "fix" people, correcting problems or filling the gaps between where they are and where we think they should be. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well, if at all, to inspire sustained learning or positive change.
There's a better way. In this powerful, practical audiobook, emotional intelligence expert Richard Boyatzis and Weatherhead School of Management colleagues Melvin Smith and Ellen Van Oosten present a clear and hopeful message. The way to help someone learn and change, they say, cannot be focused primarily on fixing problems, but instead must connect to that person's positive vision of themselves or an inspiring dream or goal they've long held. This is what great coaches do - they know that people draw energy from their visions and dreams, and that same energy sustains their efforts to change, even through difficult times. In contrast, problem-centered approaches trigger physiological responses that make a person defensive and less open to new ideas.

So promising, worse narration I've ever suffered.
I love the idea of compassionate coaching rather than coaching for compliance. I must confess, I really struggled to appreciate the narration style, but pushing through to access the valuable content.

Excellent presentation of coaching principles
This is an excellent presentation of coaching principles aimed at the general listener/reader, those starting out in coaching and coaching practitioners who could benefit from a reminder of some essential principles. The use of anonymised stories makes it very accessible.

Easy to forget
Is this your second book on coaching? Then go for it. Otherwise, this will give you nothing new. It is nice to listen to, very easy to forget what it was about in the first place.

Terrible narration
I had to stop listening because the narration was so monotonous. Wish it were better
