The Coach's Mindset

Awareness, Presence, and the Inner Work of the Coach

Andrés Morantes & Mayuri Guzmán · September 1, 2026

Book two of The Coaching Practice: the inner work that makes coaching possible — self-awareness, presence, and the quiet discipline of setting your own agenda aside.

About the Book

Technique alone does not make a coach. What the coach brings into the room — attention, humility, freedom from the need to be right — shapes every conversation.

This volume examines the coach's interpretations, judgments, and blind spots, and how each one silently enters the session.

Presence is treated as a practice, not a personality trait: something trained, protected, and recovered.
