Summary
You want people to stretch their limits, but your conversations meant to help them often fall flat or backfire, creating more resistance than growth. Top leadership coach Marcia Reynolds offers a model for using the Discomfort Zone - the moment when the mind is most open to learning - to prompt people to think through problems, see situations more strategically, and transcend their limitations. Drawing on recent discoveries in the neuroscience of learning, Reynolds shows how to ask the kinds of questions that short-circuit the brain’s defense mechanisms and habitual thought patterns. Then, instead of being told, people see for themselves the insightful and often profound solutions to what is stopping their progress. The exercises and case studies will help you use discomfort in your conversations to create lasting changes and an enlivened workforce.

If you're a leader, great! If you're a coach, well
This is a book meant for leaders to include coaching practices in their leadership. If you're a coach looking for detailed insights and examples from Marcia Reynolds' work, turn to Coaching the Person not the Problem - this is obviously written for coaches and discusses much the same elements in a much more detailed way
The reading isn't great either - a bit difficult to follow and ignore the frequent, very noticeable breathing of the reader
