Recommendation

Coaches don’t work only on football and soccer fields, baseball diamonds, or basketball courts. Today, coaches assist clients in every possible area of endeavor, from business and other professions to numerous life skills. If you can do it, a coach can help you do it better. Sir John Whitmore is a respected guru in this emerging field. He also is a bigger-than-life figure who was once a professional racecar driver on a championship team. Whitmore’s popular, authoritative book, now in its fourth edition, is a classic contribution in the field of performance coaching. getAbstract recommends it as a tremendous resource on the philosophy and methodology of coaching.

Take-Aways

  • Coaches help people improve their professional performance and their lives.
  • Those who receive coaching (“coachees”) experience self-actualization, which develops their skills and talents.
  • Coaching builds awareness and helps people become more responsible.
