Whitmore commands managers not to correct their people but to awaken them. That is exactly Cevvela’s philosophy: “the gem is in you — take the first step.” If you lack the courage to ask the right question, every answer you receive is a lie. It is a bedside book that goes beyond the mechanical limits of international coaching competencies and ties the matter to a person’s existential potential. Coaching is not teaching; it is helping people learn.
