A Research Paper By Debbie Wissel
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

The art of coaching is based on a liberal arts perspective, which incorporates and integrates many diverse disciplines such as psychology, human behavior, anthropology, sociology, biology, neuroscience, and others. For me, being a coach requires a commitment to being a lifelong learner and listener in order to bring out the best in others. In my quest to become a better coach, I’ve read and continue to study numerous coaching books that have shaped my approach and expanded my understanding of the components of good coaching. This article outlines three fundamental works on coaching topics that recur in my own coaching: Habits and Behaviors, Life Design, and Fulfillment.
