Leaders, managers, and mentors are charged with getting people to stretch their limits, but they avoid doing it because of the potential for tension and conflict - and besides, they don’t know if it’ll result in any lasting change anyway. Top executive coach Marcia Reynolds here offers a technique that enables readers to take their people through “the discomfort zone” with minimal pain and maximum gain.

We can’t see our own blind spots (hence the name), so the role of the leader is crucial. Reynolds explains how to pick the right time and place to enter the discomfort zone and how to create a “safety bubble” so that people will trust your intentions. Then, drawing on discoveries in neuroscience about how people learn, she shows how to ask the kinds of questions that will short-circuit the brain’s defensive mechanisms and habitual thought patterns and help listeners see clearly where they’re falling short and how they can do better. She includes a plethora of actual examples from her coaching practice.

Reynolds can’t make the discomfort zone into a cake walk - leaders still need the courage to enter it. But she offers a path through it that will result in helping others to achieve lasting changes and enduring success.

De una pionera del coaching llega una guía para dominar una de las habilidades más difíciles de un coach: reflejar las palabras y expresiones de los clientes para que se vean a sí mismos bajo una nueva mirada. Los coaches dependen demasiado de hacer preguntas abiertas, afirma Marcia Reynolds. Pero las preguntas solo buscan respuestas: la indagación reflectante proporciona información. Cuando, en lugar de recibir preguntas, los clientes logran escuchar sus opiniones y creencias expresados por otra persona, son impulsados a considerar críticamente de qué modo su pensamiento afecta sus objetivos.Reynolds cita los últimos avances en neurociencias para demostrar cómo y por qué funciona la indagación reflectante, y proporciona técnicas para crear diálogos innovadores. Los entrenadores se convierten en agentes de cambio y los clientes desarrollan soluciones que pueden sorprender incluso a su entrenador.

En coaching, los momentos de iluminación se corresponden con revelaciones conmovedoras e inspiradoras, que suelen derivar en una nueva forma de ver una situación o a uno mismo. Esta "nueva perspectiva" proporciona una imagen o idea que antes era inaccesible. Tales revelaciones, en suma, cambian el punto de vista que el cliente tiene de sí mismo y de su circunstancia."Coaching innovador" ofrece métodos, recursos y ejercicios para activar cambios inmediatos y perdurables de perspectivas y comportamientos en los clientes.Cuestiones como "¿De verdad puedo decir eso?" o "¿Debería haber dicho más?" ya no serán motivo de preocupación.Estas páginas guiarán al coach para revelar deseos y sueños profundos, identificar puntos ciegos y bloqueos mentales y abrir la mente de sus clientes, a fin de que puedan vislumbrar perspectivas inéditas y superadoras… ¡en menos de una hora de tiempo juntos!La Dra.
