25 Free Coaching Tools and Techniques

25 Free Coaching Tools and Techniques by Chris Delaney (associated with Employment King) is a practical, high-utility resource designed for coaches who want to expand their "intervention library" without a massive financial investment. These tools are distilled from Delaney's broader work, including his 101 Coaching Techniques, and are crafted to produce immediate, visible shifts in a client’s perspective.

Diverse Methodology

Delaney’s toolkit stands out because it blends traditional coaching models with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and cognitive-behavioral strategies. Key highlights include:

·         The Classics: Practical applications of the GROW Model and the Wheel of Life to establish benchmarks.

·         Psychological Reframing: Techniques like "Deleting Negative Self-Talk" and "Changing Your Beliefs" to tackle internal resistance.

·         Action-Oriented Tasks: Creative exercises such as "Commitment Cards" and "The Future You" to bridge the gap between insight and real-world results.

The book is structured for ease of use; each of the 25 tools includes a clear explanation of why it works and a step-by-step guide on how to facilitate it. It is an essential "cheat sheet" for new coaches looking to build confidence and for veterans seeking fresh ways to break through client plateaus.
