Come to Coaching: Coaching for Driver Development – A Practical Guide

Lynne has revised this book with new content and detail. When it was first written, coaching and use of a client centred approach in driver training were new to the industry. This 2nd edition reflects its recent wide scale adoption and also Lynne’s own extended learning on the subject since the initial book. Chapters are fully revised with extra content and illustrations. Uniquely, it also contains reflective logs from Lynne’s own experiences of coaching.  It’s a book that you can dip in and out of and easily return to for reference. Lynne expects this book to help anyone who is:

• Preparing for a Standards Check
• Wanting to start to learn about coaching
• Wanting to understand more about coaching after an initial interest
• Just qualified as an ADI
• Wanting to update their skills if they have been an ADI for a number of years
• Hoping to feel more confident about coaching with more understanding
• Wanting to increase basic coaching skills to more advanced ones

The book takes the reader comprehensively through the whole process of coaching. The chapters include:

ü  What are coaching and the benefits?

ü  Why ADIs need coaching skills

ü  Starting to Coach

ü  Qualities of a good coach

ü  The learning process and reflection

ü  Models of coaching: GROW, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching

ü  Questions and feedback skills

ü  Coaching techniques: Scaling, role changing, visualisation, story boards, mind mapping, six hats thinking, reframing, self-disclosure and others

ü  A coaching contract

ü  Possible barriers

ü  Coaching Logs and coaching in action

Lynne appreciates that you can’t learn everything about coaching from a book because it needs practice and experience. It also needs reflection and then changes in order to make improvement:  it’s an ongoing process. However, you can use this book to get an understanding of your own ability to coach as well as tools, tips and techniques to try out. Lynne has already helped many ADIs to “Come to Coaching” in the 1^st edition: this new version will increase the skills of ADIs even further. Comments on the 1^st edition include:
