The book is divided into three parts. The first part helps you lay the foundation for personal change by examining thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Part Two looks into how you can use your coaching skills and your increased knowledge of yourself and others to improve your relationships. In the last section, readers are enlightened on how a coaching mindset can be employed in organizations to improve cohesion and maximize human potential. From this book, you will learn to improve your well-being, communication skills, job satisfaction, learning ability, team performance, resilience, chances of achieving your goals, and much more.
