The 12 days of coaching resources – recap

The festive season is often a busy time for many people so in case you missed any of the 12 posts here is a quick recap with links for each day.

A mix of different topics providing support and solutions for a range of problems and questions were deliberately selected. You’ll notice that there is a mix of books, audio and other products spaced throughout the 12 days. Some will be more appealing if you are new to coaching, whilst others will be more attractive if you have more experience.

I invite you to explore the following and decide which one is most useful for you.

Day 2 – Get Clients in 30 Days by Elizabeth Purvis

Day 3 – Playing Cards For Happy Managers & Happier Employees

Feel free to share you thoughts in the comments box.

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 12

Happy Christmas!

Today’s final resource in our 12 days of coaching resources is:

Adopt a word

You may be aware that for many years animal charities and organisations have given the option of adopting an animal. Are you aware that you can also adopt a word?

Today’s coaching resource is perhaps not one that will immediately spring to many coaches mind as a resource. However, I wanted to include in this list something that also benefits the work of a charity, particularly as Christmas is associated with giving.

One of the things many coaches focus upon is language and paying attention to the words that individuals use. So I thought it was appropriate that this coaching resource is all about words.

Adopting a word is an unusual gift idea whether you want to use it as a promotional present or to give as a personal thank you or sign or appreciation.

Not only do you get a certificate* confirming your word’s adoption but you have the option to “flaunt” your adoption with added merchandise with your word on such as T-shirts, mugs and key rings.

(* Note that this is a UK based charity so if ordering from or for outside of the UK do check about delivery options for the country in question.)

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 11 1

It’s Christmas Eve and we’ve reached oiur 11th coaching resource

From Non-Coach to Coach Discovery Session

Each month I offer a handful of From Non-Coach to Coach discovery sessions. It’s something I started doing as one big problem I’ve noticed that many coaches struggle with is the transition between being a non-coach to a coach.

Often their focus is upon what they think they “should” be doing. This often means that they either miss the chances to serve (and even profit) from opportunities already waiting for them or they are too scared to take the next step.

I love to be of service to coaches, particularly those who are just starting out on their coaching journey! So I’ve created a special 1 hour session to help with this problem, my From Non-Coach to Coach Discovery Session.

Scheduling wise I can only offer a small number of these sessions a month but they are open to all.

Your consultation will be laser-focused on one thing, and one thing only: You becoming the coach you want to be.

You get my expertise, loving strong coaching, AND specific action steps to move you forward quickly. Together, we’ll …

  • Create a crystal-clear vision of exactly what being a coach means for you and how it fits with your business and lifestyle goals.
  • Establish exactly what’s been holding you back from making that transition to become a coach and why you are not already serving clients.
  • Identify next action steps for you to easily make that transition from non-coach to coach

I’ll lay out specific action steps for you, and finally, I will make at least one coach’s request to you to get you going. And the best part?

Your 60-minute From Non-Coach to Coach Discovery Session is absolutely FREE

If you are longing to step up, get out there, start getting clients, start making money AND be of greater service to the world …you can see what a tremendous opportunity this is!

The only “catch” is … you have to act fast to get one of this January’s sessions!

To claim one of these FREE sessions, here’s all you need to do:

The first of two steps to booking your from Non-Coach to Coach Discovery session is to visit here and answer a few simple questions.

Once you have done that you will be transferred to an external page that will let you schedule from a selection of available time slots.

Remember I only have space to do a few of these per month so if you want to get the benefit of a session I suggest you act now by clicking here.

12 Days of Coaching Resources – Day 10 1

Day 10 of our 12 Days of coaching resources and today’s is:

“Get Unstuck & Get Going … on the stuff that matters” by Michael Bungay Stanier

There are two physical aspects to this resource. The first part is The Action Acceleration Sheet ™ containing coaching elements and questions to help you get unstuck and take action.

The second part of the resource can be used alongside The Action Acceleration Sheet to create a powerful tool or as a stand alone creativity catalyst. Physically, this part of the resource is set out as “flip” pages.

The “flip” pages are sorted into three sections:

  • Inspiring stories,
  • provocative quotes
  • and powerful models.

The idea is that you randomly select a flip in each of the sections and use that to assist you get a new perspective, inspiration and tap into your own creativity and wisdom. Together the flips in all three sections can give 125,000 different combinations.

Personally I find that the format and design of this resource really aids it’s use and makes it really easy to either quickly “dip into” for a boost of inspiration or to take slightly longer to focus on getting unstuck.

It is a product that you can either use alone or with a client/coach/colleague etc. As this is a coaching resource then you probably won’t be surprised about the suggestion that you add an aspect of accountability to assist you to get unstuck. However, it is possible to add accountability without a second person physically working with this resource with you – unless that is your preference.

Using all the sections on offer with this resource you can:

  • Define the challenge you are facing,
  • inspire new solutions,
  • create an action plan to overcome obstacles
  • and then take action and get things going.
