It's International Coaching Week!
Founded in 1999, the International Coaching Week is a time for coaches to inform the general public of the amazing value and results of a coaching process and of working with a professional coach.
I'm excited to share with you the work of Michael Bungay Stanier, who has interviewed countless authors and leaders to find out what motivates them and also what are the difficulties they have overcome to achieve the great work they put forth in the world.
I am particularly delighted in sharing with you his "Practical Coaching Series: Essential Interviews With Coaches You Need to Know About" as my inspiring coach, Rich Litvin, is featured as one of 7 thought leaders worth knowing more about. Rich has coached me for the last 6 months and I have seen and experienced an exponential difference in the way I fearlessly and powerfully face the world, each small step at a time. It is tremendously gratifying to incorporate the knowledge I gain from Rich in the work with my own clients.
So, happy International Coaching Week to all and may you all have the opportunity to be deeply listened to by a sensitive and stimulating coach regardless of which point you find yourself in life. What you will find, after a great coaching experience, is that you can always choose to move to another, even more fulfilling point. Best of all, it's loads of FUN!

Practical Coaching Series: Essential Interviews with Coaches You Need to Know About
It’s International Coaching Week – hurrah!
Much as I love professional coaches – hey, I am one after all – my real passion is about making coaching just a regular part of the way we work. In particular, how can you as a busy manager and leader use coaching more often to increase the focus, impact and meaning of the work you and those around you do.
Peter Block, a man I constantly hold up as a deep influence on my work, said it best:
Coaching is not a profession.
It’s a way of being with one another.
Indeed.
I’ve had the good luck of interviewing some fantastic coaching thought-leaders over the last number of years as part of the Great Work Interview series.
Here are 7 thought leaders you might be interested to hear. Listen for the useful insights and tactics they share – your coaching will be richer as a result.
Sir John Whitmore is one of the fathers of the coaching profession and author of the influential Coaching for Performance.
Cinnie Noble, the leading figure in the world of Conflict Management Coaching which just happens to be the name of her new book.
Mary Beth O’Neill, author of one of the best books I know about executive coaching, Executive Coaching with Backbone and Heart.
Rich Litvin, who does fantastic work about probing the secret of confidence.’
Eddie Erlandson who with his business and life partner Kate Ludeman wrote Alpha Male Syndrome, a book in coaching those “A types” (men and women) in organizations.
David Rock, who’s at the head of the pack when it comes to connecting the findings of neuroscience with the art of leadership and management and who’s book Your Brain at Work is destined to be a classic.
Dan Coyle, author of the very fine book The Talent Code that talks about what “deep practice” really means.
