Best for

Coaches who want to ask better questions and stay calmer in high-stakes conversations.

Why it matters

The book is useful for conversation dynamics: listening, labeling, calibrated questions, and slowing down reactive answers. Those skills can help coaches handle objections and clarify needs.

Limitations

It is written from a negotiation context, not a coaching ethics context. Do not turn coaching conversations into tactical battles.
