The Mindful Coach is written for managers and executives, coaches and consultants, educators, counselors, social workers, and clergy- in short, any professional committed to supporting the learning and development of others.

Drawing from modern Buddhist perspectives on mindfulness, this important and practical book skillfully integrates the key practice of self-awareness with a logical and pragmatic approach to developing one's coaching skills in service to others. The Septet model describes seven key roles that any professional who is charged with helping others plays in fostering their learning, growth, and change.

With lots of exercises, sample dialogues, and practical models for application, the Mindful Coach offers a systematic approach for developing your sensitivity and effectiveness as a coach. This book will help you:
  • become more self-aware as a guide and teacher of others,

  • learn new coaching techniques and apply those you are familiar with more consciously and effectively,

  • internalize a language for understanding, sharing, and managing the development process, and

  • foster self-mastery for both people in any development relationship.
