Synopsis

Coaching isn’t about giving advice or checking off boxes on a competency checklist. It’s about showing up fully present, listening deeply, and bringing your curiosity, so the person you’re with can explore their beliefs and challenges in a way that helps them move forward.
Lyssa deHart welcomes new coaches, aspiring leaders, and those curious about coaching. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and the ICF Core Competencies, this book explores what makes coaching transformational. It’s a guide to helping clients (or thinkers) develop insights and actions that “stick” long after a session ends.
This book is about you: your presence, curiosity, and partnering. In coaching, “you are the tool,” and that’s your greatest asset.
With practical wisdom, relatable stories, demonstrations, and actionable strategies, Sticky Outcomes helps you build the skills, confidence, and mindset to create growth that lasts long past the coaching session.
