Listen to a Clip!

In this audio CD, recorded at a large small groups conference, coach trainer Tony Stoltzfus shows you how to build authentic relationships with those you coach (and with everyone else you meet!) Starting with the idea that an authentic relationship is only one conversation away, Tony shows how to use stories to catalyze an authentic atmosphere quickly. The disc covers the two fundamental paradigms of authenticity, four principles of authentic story-telling, different types of life stories (including the story of your identity), authenticity exercises and more. It's a great way to build coaching skills during your "drive time" in the car.

The new Coaching Essentials Series CDs provide training in core skills for aspiring or practicing coaches, on enhanced CD format that includes handouts and articles as well as audio.
