Dear Today's Coach Reader...
Why this ebook?
A couple of reasons...
1. Given how new coaching is, most clients of coaches are pretty
new at being clients -- they often don't know how to make
the most of the coaching process.
2. Wouldn't it be cool to email this ebook to your client in
order to help them get the most out of your work together?
3. A successful client is a long-term client -- client turnover
(churn) is a problem in the coaching world and we're hoping that
this book will reduce that problem (that, and advanced coach
training).
4. As we compile this ebook, it helps us also figure out the
classes/trainings we should add to our curriculum in order to
increase the satisfaction of the clients of the coaches we
train.
5. One of our foci this year is looking at coaching from the
perspective of the client, not just the coach. This
project helps along that path.
6. We are hoping that this ebook will contribute to the
legitimization of the coaching process. Not sure how
exactly, but I think it will contribute in some way in this
area.
Can you think of more reasons to offer
this ebook? If so, please let me know: thomas@thomasleonard.com
with "55 Ways" in the subject line by Tuesday, January

Right now, we're looking for suggestions for micro-chapter
titles...
Here's what we've got so far...
Once we select the 55 topics, I'll start writing the 2--5
paragraph description and examples for each of the micro
chapters.
1. Pick the goals that you want to
achieve, not the ones you should want to achieve. Big
difference.

Got some ideas for how
your clients can get the most out of your coaching?
The questions to ask yourself...
1. How do YOU get the most out of coaching with/from YOUR own
coach?
2. Given what you experienced with your own clients, what have
your most successful clients done or asked for from you that's
made the difference?
3. If you could design a perfect client, how would they
use/interact with you?
4. If you could produce miracles with every client, how would
you set them up and coach them?
