Coaching books for Financial Planners
In the questions and comments raised by some of the 2,000 or so people attending the two PFS Power webinars with Chris Budd and Jan Bowen-Nielsen, there were quite a few requests for us to recommend books about coaching.
Below is a short list of coaching books, but please note that these books are targeted towards coaches and managers, not advisers and planners. There simply isn’t any.
If you are looking for a book on coaching for advisers, please help me! I’ve been trying for more than a year and half to write a book specifically for advisers on how to use coaching skills to help your clients and become a trusted adviser. So please encourage me (or push me) to get it finished. You can connect with me on LinkedIn and Twitter. Send me a message and add #WriteThatBookJan in the message – then I will also let you know when it is published.
But in the meantime, here are a few books you may find useful to introduce you to the subject of coaching:
- ‘Powerful Questions for Coaches and Mentors’ by David Clutterbuck
- ‘Effective Coaching’ by Miles Downey
- ‘Techniques for Coaching and Mentoring’ by Lancer, Megginson and Clutterbuck
- ‘The Coaching Manual: The Definitive Guide to the Process, Principles and Skills of Personal Coaching’ by Julie Starr
If you are interested in learning more specifics around applying coaching techniques in your financial practice, you can also join our webinar series, Coaching at the Heart of Financial Advice, or our 1-day workshop, Coaching Skills for Financial Planners. You can also find more on the PFS Power events calendar.
