There are some fantastic business books that transcend business and also work well in sports, education, parenting, and just about any discipline.
Add You Already Know How to Be Great to that mix.
Author Alan Fine, who himself has coached business leaders, organizations and pro athletes, has put together a handbook to guide his readers to breakthrough for themselves, and practices that will allow them to inspire others to do likewise.
The book uses several frameworks that allow us to reflect and remember the practices with ease. The techniques toward transformation will ignite immediate change and growth.
There are three sections that make up the book:
- Paradigm and Principle
- Process
- Practice
With something for everyone, the book is chock full of great quotes, transcripted coaching sessions, and graphic organizers to help the visual learner.
There are even homework assignments at the end of each chapter (I love it!).
Here’s a short video of Alan Fine giving an overview of the book (includes many of the visuals in the book):

Buy it? Borrow it? Bury it? I’d would recommend Buy It. For coaches, parents, teachers and anyone in a position to have conversations that could inspire growth (including self-talk)
