Further Reading: Marcia Reynolds on Coaching the Person, Not the Problem

Advice is easy; reflective insight is harder. Marcia Reynolds — former ICF Global President and author of Coach the Person, Not the Problem — argues that transformative coaching works when the coach helps clients see their own thinking, not when the coach becomes a smarter problem-solver.

Her emphasis on emotional environments and discomfort as learning territory is especially useful for executive coaches who feel pulled into consulting mode under organisational pressure.
