Glenn Kiser

What if the most powerful thing you could do for another person was help them achieve more of their potential?

After 45 years of coaching leaders across industries, cultures, and generations, Glenn Kiser has learned that great coaching isn't a system. It's a relationship — built on trust, authenticity, and the courage to show up fully for another human being.

The Blue Book of Coaching is his field notebook.

Structured like Harvey Penick's beloved Little Red Book, this practitioner's companion offers named entries drawn from a lifetime in the coaching room — on building trust, navigating difficult moments, coaching the victim, the warrior, the introvert, and the leader whose world is falling apart. On the serious business of humor. On what a dead fly on a desk reveals about leadership. And on what it costs the coach when their own world falls apart.

This is not theory. This is what coaching actually looks, sounds and feels like.

For professional coaches, manager-coaches, HR professionals, and anyone who has ever tried to help someone grow.

This is your coaching companion.

Glenn Kiser is the founder of Next Chapter Coaching and Development and author of Masterful Facilitation (HarperCollins Leadership). He lives and works in Denver, Colorado.
