This book highlights some of the unique challenges that are faced when coaching inside your own organization. In comparison to existing coaching literature, which typically focuses on external coaching, this book provides a toolkit specifically for internal coaches. J. Val Hastings draws on over 20 years’ of experience, in addition to international interviews with current internal coaches in a range of industries, to explore the questions that create the foundation of strong internal coaching practice: •How do you manage potential conflicts of interest as an internal coach? •How do you coach when you have a vested interest in the outcome? •How do you seamlessly change roles as an internal coach? •How do you help leaders understand what coaching is, as well as its value - and yours - to the organization? •How do you coach the system? Important reading for all internal coaches and coaches in training, this book provides a key set of guiding principles and puts practical resources into the hands of the people who need them. “Only a masterful and insightful coach as Val Hastings could put together a book which teaches how to really deal with this scenario. This one is to be studied once, twice… again, again and again.” Juliana de Lacerda Camargo, Master Certified Coach, Partner of R122 and Representative of C4TL in Brazil “Val shares some great insights and ideas on changing the culture of organisations so that colleagues listen more than they fix. Coaching from the Inside makes transformation more accessible for everyone!" Claire Pedrick MCC, Author of Simplifying Coaching “Coaching from the Inside is a masterpiece that reminds leaders that it will bring out the best in individuals, teams, and organizations when developing a coaching culture.” HiRho Y. Park, PhD., DMin., PCC, Vice President for International Relations and Advancement, Huree University, Mongolia J. Val Hastings, MCC, is the founder of Coaching4Today'sLeaders and Coaching4Clergy and has been coaching for over 20 years.

In this inspirational yet practical book, the man Parade called “the most important coach in America,” subject of the national bestseller Season of Life, Joe Ehrmann, describes his coaching philosophy and explains how sports can transform lives at every level of play, from the earliest years to professional sports. Coaches have a tremendous platform, says Joe Ehrmann, a former Syracuse University All-American and NFL star. Perhaps second only to parents, coaches can impact young people as no one else can. But most coaches fail to do the teaching, mentoring, even life-saving intervention that their platform provides. Too many are transactional coaches; they focus solely on winning and meeting their personal needs. Some coaches, however, use their platform. They teach the Xs and Os, but also teach the Ys of life. They help young people grow into responsible adults; they leave a lasting legacy. These are the transformational coaches. These coaches change lives, and they also change society by helping to develop healthy men and women. InSideOut Coaching explains how to become a transformational coach. Coaches first have to “go inside” and articulate their reasons for coaching. Only those who have taken the InSideOut journey can become transformational. Joe Ehrmann provides examples of coaches in his life who took this journey and taught him how to find something bigger than himself in sports.He describes his own InSideOut experience, starting with the death of his beloved brother, which helped him understand how sports could transcend the playing field. He gives coaches the information and the tools they need to become transformational. Joe Ehrmann has taken his message about the extraordinary power of sports all over the country. It has been warmly endorsed by NFL head coaches, athletic directors at major universities, high school head coaches, even business groups and community organizations. Now any parent-coach or school or community coach can read Ehrmann’s message and learn how to make sports a life-changing experience.
