I found this great video on [how to coach masterfully](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/topic/become-a-master-coach) at the [Institute of Coaching](http://www.instituteofcoaching.org/)'s website.

In this 30-minute interview with Google's Director of Executive Coaching & Leadership, [David Peterson, PhD.](https://www.linkedin.com/pub/david-peterson/6/117/6a9), discusses what it means to be a masterful coach, how it is nonlinear, goes way beyond asking [powerful questions](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/54576/101-Incredible-Coaching-Questions), and how nearly everyone at Google is shifting to a coach approach, so those who call themselves, professional coaches, need to get really good at what they do to stay credible.Hence, the discussion on coaching mastery.

Peterson also says that as the world moves exponentially faster, it's more critical than ever to be able to establish rapport quickly with clients, facilitate change rapidly and show results. A few years back, we posted a short video with then Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, in which he says, "Get a coach," was the best advice he ever received and how he believes [everyone needs a coach.](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/23994/Everyone-needs-a-coach-Says-Google-CEO) Apparently Peterson and his team really are getting those great results! Watch for more insights:

 

 

 

If you're thinking about becoming a masterful coach, consider studying [positive psychology coaching](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/coaching-blog/bid/113034/positive-psychology-coaching-the-real-reasons-clients-want-it), because evidence-based coaching is often preferred by large employers such as Google. And positive psychology is a natural fit for coaching. There are only a handful of positive psychology coaches who can claim to have reached mastery, so you will be able to distinguish yourself from the thousands of others who call themselves coaches. And there is still time for you to become one of the first to be certified by the [International Association of Positive Psychology Coaches.](https://positivepsychologycoach.org/)
