Full Description
Beyond Belief is a much needed, compelling, practical guide to a creative world of coaching, with confidence at its heart.
It reimagines a way of coaching with confidence and self-belief at the very heart of all we do: highly creative, deeply rewarding and leading to beyond belief results. It explores how we create assured spaces for our coaching to flow, the sometimes rocky paths to trust and how to help those we coach prepare for their daunting challenges: confident coaches, confidence in the coach and coaching for confidence. And everything changes: how we think of and support motivation, resilience, creativity and much more.
Drawing on the inner stories of coaches and coached, endurance sports coach Mike Porteous brings to life a vision of coaching at its best, in essence coach and coached finding an easy fluency, wholly attuned mind and body to self and others and a depth of meaningful connections. A coaching book like no other.
