Textbook for executive coaching certifications at Penn State, Texas Christian, the University of Georgia and several other major universities, THE SHERPA GUIDE is the only coaching process endorsed by multiple universities. This book delivers a solid standard for professional coaches. The Sherpa process maps out a predictable process for business coaching, a timeline for every engagement, and a clear path to the top in a very complex and delicate business. The authors take their lead from the Sherpas, native guides who assist climbers to the top of Mount Everest . Sherpa coaches, like those guides, enable, advise, and assist, but allow the client to reach the summit through their own skill and will. Every climb is unique. This resourceful guide equips readers with the tools to coach their clients to their highest goals. It's an excellent guide for executive coaches, trainers, consultants, and HR directors..

The Sherpa Guide - A great hands on resource

The Sherpa Guide and the accompanying "Sherpa Journal" for your clients is a tremendously powerful combination when working with executive clients.

The step by step approach to Executive Leadership Coaching is indeed a powerful recipe. The process is based upon the Sherpa 12 week process. By completing various exercises in the first two to four weeks of your sessions you assist your client in identifying and deciding upon which of the two main strategies for follow to reach the 'summit'

These are either the Organisational Route or the Relational Route, each comprising of tried and proven coaching techniques.

Perhaps the most useful part of this combination are the numerous options and suggestions of client exercises and strategies. Being able to complete the actual journal as a companion to the coaching journey leaves the client with a solid reminder of the journey they made.

Additional 'gifts' or Chara's are recommended as visuals and reminders for your client along their journey.

I have personally used Sherpa process with numerous clients and have received positive feedback from them. Months later receiving emails from them stating how they benefited from their journal.

A must have for executive coaches. Do get the client journal as it is essential in the process!
