When I first started coaching, two books became foundational to what I was trying to accomplish. One was *The HeART of Laser-Focused Coaching* by Marion Franklin. The other was *Coach the Person, Not the Problem* by Marcia Reynolds.

I bought both on audiobook and listened to each of them probably dozens of times. It became part of my evening ritual to have one of them playing in the background when I'd get home from work.

So I was pleasantly surprised when one of my friends and mentors, [Carol Keith, MCC,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolkeithmcc/?ref=intentionforge.ghost.io) mentioned that there's now a second edition of *Coach the Person, Not the Problem*. And Carol's news got better from there. She'd just been in conversation with Marcia the day before, who gave Carol permission to host a book club working through it – and Marcia provided some "behind the scenes" information about what shaped the new information.

The second edition isn't a light refresh. There's new research, new case studies, and a lot of new material on how to coach at the client's identity level.
