Coaching is one of the most sought-after leadership skills - vital for anyone who wants to develop a team of people who will perform effectively, but are also motivated and relish working together. It's also a dynamic discipline which, in recent years, has developed and grown to embrace theory and practice from a wide range of other disciplines, frameworks and models. Mastering Coaching starts by asking what skills an effective coach must now possess to boost the performance of their coachees. In response, it summarises the most important research in areas such as neuroscience, sports psychology and mindfulness, positive psychology, mastery and goal-setting and offers a clear, simple and practical guide to how this new thinking can help coaches and managers to develop their own coaching practice. Written by Max Landsberg, executive coaching and professional development expert and author of the perennial bestseller The Tao of Coaching, Mastering Coaching goes beyond the basics of coaching by providing insights which offer a proven route map to coaching success.Practical and jargon-free, the book will equip readers with the techniques and tools necessary to take their coaching to the next level.

From the bestselling author of The Tao of Coaching comes a book on how to motivate and inspire others - and yourself! Motivation is much more than just a few words of praise. It is an essential skill which anyone can learn, and with which you can have an indelible, positive impact on yourself and others. Yet most of us are never taught this crucial life skill. In this book, bestselling author Max Landsberg fills that gap, providing simple tools, tips and techniques that really work. One of the key points of the book is, you cannot motivate someone else if you are not motivated yourself. Landsberg examines what it takes to motivate yourself, at work and at home, as the basis for inspiring and motivating those around you.

Landsberg argues that anyone who personally engages with his team to create Vision and Inspiration and Momentum will almost certainly be regarded as a leader. This book shows you how to do that.

The South West Coast Path is the longest National Trail in the UK, and its full 630 miles is off-putting to most recreational walkers.  This carefully selected section from St Ives to Penzance provides a superb taster experience that readily fits inside one week.  Enjoy some of the UK’s finest coastal scenery including around Land’s End, its wild south-western extreme. This part of Cornwall is surprisingly accessible by mainline railway, and it offers plenty of charming places to stay and eat.  The book includes an option to complete the circuit inland by St Michael’s Way, and also a side-trip by tidal causeway to St Michael’s Mount.  The detailed route description is enhanced by background on Cornwall’s geology, history and culture.Lavishly illustrated, the book has 100 colour photos and 15 pages carrying detailed route mapping (1:35,000).  It is in a slim pocket-friendly format and, like all Rucksack Reader guidebooks, printed on rainproof paper.
