How to thrive (and not just survive) in the World of Coaching

The Coach’s Survival Guide is the second book from Master Certified Coach, Kim Morgan. It is an easy to use, accessible book, grounded in practice and experience and includes case studies drawn from real-life practice. It is rooted in the real world, normalising the insecurities felt by many coaches and acknowledging the realities of building a coaching business, while addressing the everyday issues that can hinder a coach’s performance or confidence.

Focusing on her experience from creating coach training and professional development programmes for coaches for the last 20 years, Kim Morgan answers all of the burning questions new coaches have on getting their business started, choosing clients to work with and most importantly, their self-care. The Coach’s Survival Guide seeks to normalise the almost inevitable feelings of self-doubt felt by coaches, particularly in the initial stages of their new career.

Each chapter covers one topic from several different angles with case studies to help better illustrate the topic from a coaching practice perspective. Some of the chapters include: Building a coaching business, managing client boundaries, facilitating change and self-care for coaches.
