Coaching is one of the most sought-after leadership skills - vital for anyone who wants to develop a team of people who will perform effectively, but are also motivated and relish working together. It's also a dynamic discipline which, in recent years, has developed and grown to embrace theory and practice from a wide range of other disciplines, frameworks and models.

Mastering Coaching starts by asking what skills an effective coach must now possess to boost the performance of their coachees. In response, it summarises the most important research in areas such as neuroscience, sports psychology and mindfulness, positive psychology, mastery and goal-setting and offers a clear, simple and practical guide to how this new thinking can help coaches and managers to develop their own coaching practice.

Written by Max Landsberg, executive coaching and professional development expert and author of the perennial bestseller The Tao of Coaching, Mastering Coaching goes beyond the basics of coaching by providing insights which offer a proven route map to coaching success.

Practical and jargon-free, the book will equip readers with the techniques and tools necessary to take their coaching to the next level.

My mission is to help people and organisations grow and develop.

See www.maxlandsberg.com

I returned to McKinsey & Company in 2016 having left as a Partner 17 years earlier. I continue to coach senior executives, help the Boards of large organisations plan the succession of their CEOs and top teams, and write books that help broader audiences perform better as leaders and coaches.

My approach blends experience in business strategy and executive development from two decades as a partner or senior partner at consultants McKinsey, headhunters Heidrick & Struggles and leadership consultants Korn Ferry.

I also aim to inspire people to grow more holistically - especially through their connection with nature in general, and with wild landscapes in particular.

. My books include:

-- October 2015, MASTERING COACHING. For managers and coaches - concise lessons from the fields of Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Sports Psychology, Expert Performance, and beyond, to help you master the skills of high performance coaching.

-- March 2015, THE TAO OF COACHING. A fully revised edition of the classic text for mangers and coaches, showing how to coach for high performance, and how the manager-coach can benefit just as much as the person s/he is coaching

-- 1996, 97 and 98: THE TAO OF COACHING, THE TAO OF MOTIVATION, AND THE TOOLS OF LEADERSHIP. Practical "how-to" books for managers, which have all stayed in print for 15 years.

Books on Nature and the Outdoors:

-- 2016: TREK TO EVEREST. Winner of "Best Guidebook" Award by the UK's Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild. Directions and tips for the classic trek from Lukla to Everest base camp, including options such as via Gokyo Lakes.

-- 2015 THE RIDGEWAY. A guidbook to the Ridgeway National Trail that runs for 87 miles (139 km) across the stunning North Wessex Downs and on through the Chilterns. Starting close to Avebury's huge stone circle, the trail follows a ridgeline that has been travelled since time immemorial and visits prehistoric hill forts, burial mounds and chalk-white horses.

-- 2013: THE CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS. "This book quickly drew me in. The images created on Max's journeys though the mountains are precisely depicted through his perceptive eye for detail and his obvious passion for the outdoors." ~ STEVEN FALLON: mountain guide and record-holder for completing the round of all Scotland's Munros fifteen times.

Most books I've read leave me chasing more rabbit holes than providing explanations. I'm very pleased to say that this book is both well written and properly thorough. The science is sufficiently explained and additional guidance for further reading is offered appropriately. Kudos to Mr. Landsberg. This book is now a staple in my coaching library.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very comprehensive guide on coaching, how to do it and what resources you need.

One of the areas I would like to explore more is the world of coaching. 2016 started off with reading this book prior to attending an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Coaching course. This allowed me to understand and come prepared for the course. Mastering Coaching provides a solid foundation of what coaching is about, the various areas of coaching (psychometrics, sports, positive, experiential etc.) along with a number of tools.

The biggest misunderstanding is on what coaching is. Landsberg clears this up with a clear difference from mentoring, counselling and therapy; he refers to coaching as "facilitating self-directed neuroplasticity."

The book is divided into three areas to provide the reader detail on the science, strategies and situations when coaching. There are plenty of diagrams and examples cited from experts in the neuroscience field. It is an excellent starter manual to the world of coaching. Landsberg also provides a plethora of additional reading options throughout the book for those that want to delve deeper into the various topics discussed.

Three key takeaways from the book:
1. Coaching is very different to mentoring, counselling, and therapy. The best metaphor I can use is to lead a horse to water but not the horse drink
2. Multi-tasking. I am continually reading the message that the brain is built to process one task at a time. If we multi-task, we reduce the brain's overall speed and accuracy
3. Experimental learning and the 70/20/10 rule. Individual learning comes is 70% self-directed, 20% from specific people, 10% from reading/training

Covers a lot of different aspects of coaching and psychology but barely skims the surface of each topic. Feel like reading wikipedia would be better

For a recently qualified life coach, this book is great and so hopeful. Giving me ideas for more training to help me as a life coach. The writing is just the right level for me with great explanations. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about coaching or just ideas to help improve themselves.
