Coachability is a “must read”

Coachability gets to the root of the real issue with coaching others. Are the recipients of the coaching coachable? I gave the book to my team and then Kevin Wilde conducted a short but powerful workshop.

Insightful and Practical

Coachability is an excellent resource for those looking to improve. It is engaging, insightful and, most of all, it’s practical … with checklists, tools, tips and guides that help the reader move from insight to action. If listening to the Audible version, I recommend downloading the accompanying “Notebook” (thecoachableleader.com/notebook) before you start as it’s referenced throughout and is very helpful to bring the content life.
