<p>"Ready, Set, Ripen! A Leader’s Guide to Preparing People for Development" is a business parable that explores the mindsets coaches and managers must cultivate in order to promote growth, change, and development in those they work with. This book provides a practical, easy-to-apply approach to enabling people to be ready for behavioral change, so that coaches and managers find it easier to successfully coach others. In our experience as executive coaches and leadership development professionals, we have found that many managers believe that some of the people they attempt to coach are relatively incapable of making significant changes to their performance or are "difficult to coach.” As a result, they deemphasize their investment in coaching and developing others, or approach their coaching work with faulty mindsets that work against the very goals they have for helping others grow and improve. The real issue is not that people can’t make meaningful changes in their behavior, but that managers often lack the right mindsets and skills to maximize their coaching impact with others. Coaching is a learnable skill, but some powerful and pervasive misconceptions need to be put out to pasture if you are to improve your coaching effectiveness. "Ready, Set, Ripen!" is a great resource for anyone who is looking to help others make behavioral changes to improve their performance, including: managers who are looking to develop their team members, executive coaches looking to enhance their impact with clients, individuals who are looking to make meaningful performance improvements, and learning and organizational development professionals responsible for developing talent in their organizations.</p>

<p>The Five Coaching Conversations: A Research-Based Model for Maximizing People’s Performance and Potential offers a different way of thinking about coaching and defines a corresponding set of coaching skills that will help coaches in virtually any context to be as effective as possible, and to get the best possible results out of their people. If you are–– A senior decision maker or influencer within an organization who wants to implement an internal coaching practice focused on leadership development, with an emphasis on developing, supporting, and elevating human capital at all levels, A leader in the organizational context who would like to move beyond the theory and practice that dominate coaching in that context today and use new, research-based diagnostics and tools for coaching those you lead, or An external coach who works with leaders and/or others in the organizational context, and who would benefit from ideas that will enhance and help you expand your own coaching practice –– you will learn what the Five Coaching Conversations look and sound like, as well as how and when to use each approach in order to achieve the outcome of growing and developing the people you coach. The Five Coaching Conversation's approach consists of five basic and relatively distinct types of coaching conversations: Explaining, Exploring, Encouraging, Empowering, and Elevating. It is based on quantitative research into what successful coaches actually do, and also on interviews with and experiences shared by leaders in various fields, including effective coaches who can point to a demonstrable track record of success when it comes to maximizing people’s performance –– whether at the individual, the team, and/or the organizational level.</p>
