About this listen
Hone your skills and strengthen your practice with this series of 25 fresh and provocative questions for reflection that challenge the conventional wisdom in the coaching profession.
Like any established profession, coaching is full of unexamined assumptions. These need to be regularly questioned and tested to keep the profession vital and valuable. Coaches need to engage in the same kind of scrutiny and self-examination that offers such powerful benefits to their clients.
In Positive Provocation, coaching thought leader Robert Biswas-Diener asks a series of 25 provocative and sometimes playful questions that take a fresh look at some of coaching’s most cherished beliefs. What if coaches had agendas? Why are ethics so boring? What’s so great about interrupting? Can we trust eureka moments? What if we used less empathy?
This is not an attack on the coaching profession—Biswas-Diener writes with a light, conversational, and often humorous touch. These are positive provocations, meant to stimulate your curiosity, engage you with the latest research, and invite you to see your practice with new eyes.

Prepare for a year-long learning journey!
It’s challenging to write a review that can do this book justice in just a few paragraphs!
This book has a unique structure as is not designed to be read in a few days/weeks. It’s a series of 25 activities/provocations for coaches of all levels to contemplate and engage with over 12 months.
As an MSc positive/coaching psychology student and new coach, I read a lot of books. Some are more interesting and engaging than others.
This book is different. It really makes you think deeply about your coaching practice. If you would like to open your mind to consider new perspectives then this audible book is for you!

Very enjoyable read!
Robert Biswas-Diener joins us in updating our enquiry into coaching and our own practice. This was easy to listen to whilst walking and thinking. I have already brought in new ideas gained from the experience. I thoroughly recommend this book to all coaches.

A real addition to your coaching practice!
Loved the informal way that this book explores the deeper questions, the different mindsets we need to take to make coaching effective.
