Doug's pioneering book, The Mindful Coach: Seven Roles for Helping People Grow, is the first to specifically integrate the practice of self-awareness with a logical and pragmatic approach to developing one's coaching skills. Written for managers, executives, coaches, consultants, and educators, the book speaks to any professional responsible for the learning and development of others.

The Septet Model describes seven key roles that any such professional plays in fostering their learning, growth, and change. With lots of exercises, sample dialogues, and practical models for application, The Mindful Coach offers a systematic approach for developing your sensitivity and effectiveness as a coach.
