Presence-Based Coaching: Cultivating Self-Generative Leaders Through Mind, Body, and Heart

Doug Silsbee

Why I recommend it

Silsbee brings attention to how the coach shows up, listens, and responds. A useful conversation depends on more than asking a good question.

What it changed in my thinking

How I handle my own reactions affects how much room someone else has to think.

Who it’s useful for

Coaches and managers who want to help people build their own judgment.

A tension or limitation

This takes practice and self-awareness. A technique won’t substitute for being attentive to the person.
