Get Ready to Celebrate
The COaching Habit

The Coaching Habit is turning 10 in 2026. We’re throwing a party. ALL YEAR.

The Coaching Habit has had a remarkable run.

Ten years. More than a million copies. Countless conversations made better.

Now it is time for the next adventure. A quest to bring out the best in each other and to mark this milestone with creativity, community, and a lot of fun.

If you have ever used The Coaching Habit to lead better, listen more deeply, or stay curious a little longer, you’re going to love what we’re doing next year.

 

What it is

We’re going to spend the year moving from the “doing” of coaching to the “being” of coaching. 

There’s a new beautiful hardback version of the book with extra content and other surprises. Link to preorder coming soon.

We’re also going to be sharing new resources and tools to help move from the doing of coaching to the being of coaching so people feel deeply heard, deeply seen, and deeply encouraged.

Every quarter we’ll be introducing something special to support you in your journey.

For a sneak peek of what’s in store, check out Michael’s recent webinar introducing The Four Paradoxes.

**Applications are closed for the Quest-ionnaires team

How it works

  • Step 1: Apply before midnight on 10/31
    Start by applying. It is simple, but it matters. The Quest-ionnaires are the ones leading the celebration, the ones making sure this 10-year anniversary feels alive, generous, and fun. Applying says, “Count me in.” It is the first small step that turns good intentions into action.
  • Step 2: Choose Your Quests
    Once you are in, you will pick the quests that are most exciting to you. You can go solo or team up.
  • Step 3: Earn Points
    Complete quests, collect points, and see how you stack up. We’ll have a live leaderboard so you can see what’s happening all the time.
  • Step 4: Win Prizes
    Every quarter we’ll get together as a community. I’ll share the latest on the anniversary activities, give you a sneak preview or early access to something. We’ll talk about the quests and celebrate the winners from the quarter.
  • Step 5: Finish Strong
    At year’s end, one person will be crowned the grand Quest-ionnaire.
