“Being provocative, at its best, invites us to open our minds, to
rethink established norms, and ultimately to become better versions
of ourselves in the process. Robert Biswas-Diener has delivered
another master class in provocation here—challenging some of the
most conventional practices in professional coaching with fresh
questions, research, and artful storytelling. If you are a coach
looking to grow, this book is for you.”

break? Robert Biswas-Diener brings exactly the right type of
provocation to how we practice coaching.”
