Co-Active Coaching: The Proven Framework for Transformative Conversations at Work and in Life

Henry Kimsey-House, Karen Kimsey-House, Phillip Sandahl, and Laura Whitworth

Why I recommend it

This is a useful foundation for coaching. It starts with trust in people’s ability to make choices and find their own way, with support.

What it changed in my thinking

A coach can help someone think, choose, and act without taking over their life or supplying every answer.

Who it’s useful for

Coaches and managers learning how to support someone’s growth.

A tension or limitation

It’s easy to get attached to a framework. Keep paying attention to the person in front of you.
