Are you a Coach? Grab a Pen & Notebook!
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019
If you're a coach, this is a book you'll want to read with a pen and notebook alongside - to jot down the thoughts and ideas you have for your current clients - and more!
There are lots of great examples to illustrate the difference that the Laser Coaching method can make to 1) what the coach focuses on and 2) the outcomes that can be achieved as a result.
We know the client's mindset is important, but what about ours?
We are encouraged to be more direct (which I love!) and to focus on transformational coaching - as opposed to a pure problem/solution approach. I totally agree that we shouldn't just "believe the client" and should delve deeper into the story and underlying beliefs and assumptions for the greatest impact. And the author helpfully ALSO shares her method to do just that!
I love that we are asked questions throughout the book to help us reflect on what we've personally taken away. And we're also asked where it could lead if you implement her laser-focused coaching method!
As someone who has been coaching for a number of years, I loved the concepts shared. I agreed with many, AND I have also been given some fresh, extremely practical ideas to try!
I thoroughly recommend this book to all levels of coaches, but especially those coaches who have been practicing for a while, or may feel they've got stuck in a rut!

Best coaching book out there hands down!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020
I am a current coaching student and have looked at and/or read many coaching books from a wide variety of areas, evidenced based to different schools of thought. This book is BY FAR the best coaching book I've read out of all of that. It not only distills down the essence of coaching, but then breaks it down for optimal learning. So you're not reading a bunch of theory, or reading a self help focused book and trying to figure out how to not apply it to yourself but as a coach. There are so many gems in this book and it really teaches you how to "laser in" to whatever is really bothering your client, or their true barrier to reaching whatever goals they may have. It goes way beyond just instilling habits as many have written about; in fact, I have personally discovered that habits, while they can be effective, they are more often just another tool in our toolbox and more often it is a secondary strategy, not the first. Marion's book really teaches you how to first figure out what the barriers truly are, and then reach a shift in thinking. Once that shift has happened, then you can deploy your tools to reinforce, like habits or all the other things you can find in other sources and books.
This book really is a gem and highly recommend it for beginning to expert coaches - there is also a course on Marion's site and I encourage you to take it, which teaches the book's concepts. I'm going through it now and it really brings the book's contents to life.

Read the biography above and you’ll know why Marion Franklin is highly qualified to write a book that encapsulates the heart of coaching and shares that heart with wisdom and skill. This book is simply brilliant – it picks up where other books and training leave off. It gives coaches, whether professionally trained or not, the tools necessary to be a true agent for change in their client’s lives. Though the book has a textbook-like depth of information, it’s a fascinating and interesting read. Every bit of information makes so much sense: e.g. how she breaks down the coaching conversation into three parts, yet dissects each part for complete understanding; her encouragement to use silence and themes; her unique way to ask questions and create shifts. These have already helped me to significantly change my coaching perspective and approach. Woven into all this amazing information are actual conversations with her own clients, which are made more impactful because she tells the reader what her thinking process was throughout the conversation. Whether you’re trained or not, a new coach or highly-seasoned one, I fully recommend this book. It is truly worth its weight in gold.

Pearl after pearl of coaching wisdom!
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019
The valuable insights provided by Marion Franklin in this book are priceless. If you are looking to go deeper with your coaching and go beyond "the outline or program" provided by many coaching schools, this is the resource for you. Presented in a clear and logical manner that also provides questions to prompt introspection, you will find this book to be a go-to reference to develop a finer coaching edge and then keep it honed. I employ Marion's coaching approach and my coaching quality almost immediately improved many folds. A gift to the coaching world that should be a standard for new coaches.

Excellent resource for coaches or anyone who works with human beings
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019
In my opinion, this book should be required reading for all coaches, HR managers and team leaders in any field. It covers important foundational topics like how to improve listening and questioning skills then goes into detail about the elements of a masterful coaching conversation. Through various examples, Marion shines the light on how all the pieces fit together to achieve amazing insight and transformational outcomes for our clients.
One of my favorite things about this book and Marion’s style of teaching is her straightforward practical approach. There is no fluff here. Every point and example in this book is like a little golden nugget. You will not just get value from your first reading. As you really dig into the material and start putting it into practice, I believe you will find many layers of wisdom packed into each idea and technique. . The included index also makes this book the perfect resource to grab for quick answers to your coaching questions, so you will want to keep it close at hand.
In full disclosure, it has been my privilege to have Marion Franklin at my side as my coach and mentor for almost a decade. The HeART of Laser-Focused Coaching encapsulates what she has taught for many years in her full coach training program. It truly reflects her dedication to excellence and her deep desire to help coaches at every level improve their skills and increase their confidence.
Whether you are a complete novice or a coach with many years experience, I believe you will find this book to be immensely valuable.

From the Introduction alone, I KNEW...!
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
... that Marion Franklin had what I needed to propel my already competent coaching into another stratosphere!
"I have listened to thousands of hours of coaching... and have observed the same problems repeatedly, particularly getting seduced by the clients' story, failing to get to the root of the problem, and focusing on the results."
This is such a pivotal concept- don't get seduced by the client's story, listen to the client. Simple! Sounds easy enough, right? WRONG! I tried this during my very next coaching session the following day and realized this was not as easy as I pictured it to be and this was a skill that required much practice.
This is an advanced level skill that I am dedicated to mastering, with the help from Marion Frankin's "boots on the ground" wisdom, which she has generously shared in this book!
This is a very easy to understand book and the concepts are presented in an easily comprehendible way, putting them into practice is where fun begins!
I bought the audio version first but once I started listening, I knew I wanted to also re-read what I was hearing and make notes, so I immediately bought the paperbacked am thrilled with both purchases!
I wish I had learned, in the year long health & wellness coaching program I've recently graduated from, what Ms. Franklin teaches us in this book, my experience would have been all the more greatly enhanced!
Thank you Ms. Franklin for sharing your priceless wisdom with all of us who have aspirations to follow in your legacy and become highly skilled Master Coaches :)

Amazing book on coaching. I like it because its not written for the newbie coach who dose not yet understand the coaching process. Most books waste a bunch of pages explaining what coaching is and the ICF core competencies. This is a great next step for coaches that are actively coaching at some level and need help discerning the deeper issues the client is not initially presenting.
This book offers is a breakdown of the structure of a coaching conversation and strategies to get right to the core of the clients story or need. Really, really well done and I found myself constantly picking up the pen to underline and write in the margin. I love books like this which are fresh and offer new ideas and insights.
This is a must own for coaches!!

How to be (and of help to) a human.
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019
If creatures from outer space came upon this world and were handed a ‘Guide to Humans’ it would be this book. Since it would be nice for the world's population to have this kind of crucial knowledge, I implore as many people as possible to purchase this book for themselves or anyone they wish to enlighten to practical and pragmatic, yet wholly transformative information. For those professionals out there coaching clients, this book should be mandatory.
An example of one of my favorite techniques in this book: The power of the short-format conversation. Most all emotions, confusion, and decision paralysis can be solved in very short order with the right listener. I’ve experienced major clarity in 30, 20, even 10 minutes with this specific body of work. Can you imagine this kind of power in your life?
Acquiring this laser super power to sort through people’s irrelevant stories in order to mine life-changing golden nuggets is a skill worth more than $19.95 and the invested time spent reading this book. Apply her techniques - such as curiously questioning *why* someone is telling you a story vs the *what* of it, or, finding the profound underpinning of beliefs that show up in seemingly insignificant comments and details in conversation - to clients, to coworkers, friends, and family and watch your life simplify and find power.
Author Marion Franklin spares us the 'expert, guru' talk usually associated with 'coaching’. She plows through the nonsense of prescriptive advice-giving. Her approach to tearing off clients' blinders is gentle, wrought with genuine tough love, and mastery. She suffers no fools amongst the brain synapses that keep people stuck, and isn't afraid to wield her power of insight and spot-on line of questioning to help someone breakthrough to their goals. She teaches us precisely how to do this.
A pioneer not only in laser coaching, Marion Franklin is held in high esteem by insiders, pillars of this industry, and amongst founders of early coaching methodology and standards. Relevant, effective, and untainted by the ebbs and flows of this industry's trends, she espouses the original essence of 1-on-1 guided self-inquiry. She offers access to a new level of awareness and simple techniques for moving people (and ourselves!) beyond challenges and into achieving goals. She shares with us her greatest hits: tried & true, timeless, and as universal as being human.
Simple and essential is the work graciously given to us by the author, a true Master. And what important work it is.
One of the most powerful coaching books I've read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020
Before I read this book my coaching was very formula-driven. Using the formula did not allow me to be as present with my clients as I wished I could have been.
The information in this book changed all that! Now I am much more present, the calls are more fluid and organic, and my clients are learning much more about themselves. I have become much more comfortable and confident in my coaching style.
Thank you, Marion, for your no-nonsense approach to coaching. My clients and I are more enlightened because of you and your wonderful book.

Powerful coaching tools and techniques
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019
As an experienced coach with over 2500 hours this book was incredible. It reinforced many concepts I use in coaching in a powerful way plus added to my knowledge in a thought provoking way. The examples and teaching in this book are applicable to every coaching call. It was an easy read yet so useful. It breaks down coaching so you can see what doesn’t and doesn’t work. I love that it helps me add to my style of coaching not just reinforce one style of coaching. Love the laser focused approach and how it allows me to get deep with my clients from the beginning. The way she explains how to ask questions in life changing for a coach! I have increased my prices because of the confidence that these tools gave me.

One of THE best coaching books out there!
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020
Hats off to Marion! She has encapsulated her many years of experience and so much wisdom as a masterful coach and teacher into this one MUST-HAVE book. Any coach, new or experienced, will walk away with unique tips and approaches to get to the heart of the matter with their clients quicker. That’s Marion’s signature theme – laser coaching. The book is easy to read and is structured for easy take-aways to try and practice. I pick it up often and find I can open to almost any page and get a helpful reminder or ideas on how to move a client forward. Marion even offers an approach to the initial conversation with a potential client, and verbatim coaching sessions where she reveals her thinking behind the questions she asks. I remember a very simple bit of advise from Marion at a conference where she was presenting – simply ask more “what questions.” (This is also in the book, of course.) I tried it and was amazed at the difference it made in my coaching. There are many more simple tips like that one in this book. Thanks to Marion for sharing. Very highly recommended!

The Absolute BEST Coaching Book Available
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2020
Marion's book is one of the greatest gifts to the coaching community, an invaluable resource, that if read and applied, WILL take you to a higher level of coaching and deeper level of being with clients. If you slow down and master the principles in Marion's book you'll be more effective at getting to the heart of the matter in a coaching conversation, quickly, helping to facilitate greater transformation in your clients.
This book will fill in the many gaps that coach training schools often seem to leave students with, teaching you the core principles and fundamentals of GOOD, solid coaching. You'll learn how to truly listen to your clients, what to listen for, and from that place ask simple, powerful questions that create shifts in the client. You'll learn to see the big picture in midst of the conversation, how to flow with the client, and get straight to the heart of the issue/challenge that the client is facing. Marion's book goes FAR beyond what coach training schools teach to truly elevate your coaching to the highest level.
You'll also have the opportunity to get in the mind of a master coach during a coaching session, as Marion presents two full coaching conversations in the book, as well as her thought process of why she did what she did, said what she said, asked what she asked. That, in itself, is extremely valuable.
Bottomline: If you want to be a mediocre coach, there are plenty of other books out there for you. If you want to be a MASTERFUL coach, get THIS book, diligently study it, apply it, and you'll soon find yourself head and shoulders above your peers.

This Book Can Transorm Your Coaching Effectiveness
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020
I read this book as a I am looking to become a Master Coach in the near future. I found the author’s insight’s and specific examples to both coaching situations and questions to ask, extremely poignant. After coaching for 15 years (currently at PCC level), I have been following much of the standard coaching practices that I learned in coaching school and through working with other coaches. What sets this book apart is how the author specifically outlines the difference between mainstream coaching and transformational coaching. I found it valuable for me as a road map, designed to take my coaching to the highest level possible. To alter my coaching style from focusing mainly on helping others reach their desired outcomes, but to actually help transform my client’s ability to make shifts that are personally and professionally impactful and permanent by exploring the root cause behind the client’s story.
This book is the first book out of the hundreds of coaching oriented books that I have read, which specifically shows the reader the what, where, who and how to become a masterful coach. I loved the book so much that I condensed it down to an outline of book notes that I will refer back to as I prepare for my ICF Master Coaching Certification.

Marion is the mother of life coaching and an engaging storyteller. Her book is a coaching "how to" for coaches or those who want to be better leaders. I love how the book set up; it's easy to follow with great questions for reflecting. On my desk is a hand scribbled note with three questions from the book that I reflect on often- and ask my clients regularly. They always elicit deeper learning, the mindset shifts we need to achieve out goals. Her list of 25 themes is a game changer. Why make the coaching process complicated when Marion is showing you the short cut...the laser approach to getting to the heart of what matters. I've had the pleasure of working with Marion and this is a close second to that experience. Can't recommend her book enough!
