At Masterful Coaching we believe that you make a difference with ideas... ideas that have the power to change the world, reshape industries, and alter paradigms.
Today, we are facing extraordinary challenges in business, government, healthcare, education, science, and the arts. Meeting these challenges is not brain surgery, but in many cases, we are not winning. The reason is there is a shortage of leadership.
Masterful Coaching has developed a new paradigm of leadership development based on the notion that extraordinary leaders develop in the process of producing extraordinary results.
We have also developed the Masterful Coaching guiding principles and methodology - which we have discovered is the fastest, most powerful way to develop leaders.
Many of these ideas, methods, and tools are discussed in our groundbreaking books. We invite you to click on the links below to find out more.
With our latest book you can either simulate a one-year coaching program with us or find the golden nugget that pertains to your specific situation and run with it. This book is based on thousands of hours of coaching conversations with leaders on their leadership, business, and career challenges. Each chapter provides: 1) a situation you are likely to face, 2) a teachable point of view that allows you to see things differently, and 3) a template for action.
This groundbreaking book is aimed at practitioners and takes people on a journey toward becoming a Masterful Coach. It starts with standing in the leaders' greatness and engaging them in creating a powerful future for themselves and their organization. Learn how to empower people to "source" an inspired high performing organization, achieve results that appear difficult or impossible, and bring about real change. The book will expand the reader's ability to transform counterproductive attitudes and behaviors.
This book starts with the premise that, if you are a leader or manager, you are first and foremost a coach teacher and manager. The book recognizes and disperses the "Four Myths" of coaching and sets a new context in which: 1) Coaching is about accomplishment, not therapy. 2) Coaching is for winners, not losers. 3) Coaching is about creating futures, not filling gaps. 4) Coaching is an ongoing process, not an isolated event. The book also introduces you to the Six Cap Coaching Communication system and a Five Step Masterful Coaching model.
Leadership arises in recognizing an opportunity to make a difference and daring to take a stand. At the same time, leaders are masters of the art of creative collaboration starting with bringing diverse stakeholders together to form effective coalitions. The book is the foundation of the Masterful Coaching CollabLab. The book will teach the reader how to bring people with divergent views and perspectives together around tough issues and come up with exciting, thrilling, breakthrough solutions. Included are fascinating interludes on diverse collaborations, such as the Mars Project, the Oslo Accords, and Xerox PARC (Xerox's creative center).
For the past half century, the CEO has been mainly a steward who "administered" the corporation. Today's most successful CEOs are much more like entrepreneurs who create what never existed before. The book teaches you not only how to come up with paradigm altering ideas that can reshape one's industry, but also how to sculpt new patterns of relationship and interaction in order to forward your most creative ideas.
