Presence-Based Coaching: Cultivating Self-Generative Leaders Through Mind, Body, and Heart

This book has been a wonderful addition to my collection of coaching books. His unique way of writing, the pauses for reflection, the practice sessions and the footnotes are very productive in developing presence. An interesting and easy read

An insightful and deep book that goes way beyond coaching so that we can each move each day closer to who we truly are!

I have been a full time coach for twenty years. This book has delivered more value for me than any other book on coaching. Presence-Based Coaching is taking me to my next level of mastery as a coach, as a mentor for new, as well- as experienced coaches, and as a human being. I have already utilized some of the practices for myself , and I have applied some practices working with my individual clients and client groups. The practice on page #120 is especially powerful "Sensing the Qualities in the Field," for helping a client raise their self-awareness and stay more connected to themselves in challenging situations. I have facilitated it like a guided visualization. As an ICF Assessor, I recommend this book for any coach applying for their ACC, PCC or MCC exams.

Good book with clear explanations on the neutrality and presence via which the role of being a coach can occur. Being present helps to be the intermediary of life, the mirror through which people can discover themselves, if they are willing to.

I bought ‘Presence-based coaching’ and ‘The mindful coach’ by Doug Silsbee. Both of them are wonderful and I am grateful for the author’s generosity in sharing his coaching experiences, insights and wisdoms which greatly contributed to my success in earning the PCC. I would highly recommend these books to anyone who love mindfulness and are pursuing coaching as a profession.
