Sometimes people are like wet wood.
The more you try to light a fire under them, the more smoke you het in your eyes.

Even the most skillful coach, counselor, parent, teacher, or pastor knows the sting of pushback. It burns like smoke in our eyes when someone shuts down or lashes out at our best efforts to help them. We are up against the number one barrier to growth:

People don’t grow when they think someone is trying to change them.

Thankfully, there is a way around this obstacle—discovering and working with each person’s God-given design instead of against it. And it doesn’t take hours to figure out what makes them tick!

In only 8 minutes, you can find

• the three critical dimensions of any personality type—even in the most stubborn or eccentric individuals, complex teams, or hurting families, and

• a tailor-made, done-for-you Coaching Guide to bring anyone to maturity at their own pace and along their own pathway.

In Don’t Change Them; Grow Them, Hettie Brittz and Annatjie van Zyl introduce the Tall Trees Coaching approach and a brand-new, life-giving language for personality and growth. Chapter by chapter, you’ll

• exchange confusion and frustration for delight in the uniqueness of people
• learn how to liberate children, teens, yourself, and other adults from limiting labels
• master four levels of coaching to enrich any individual or relationship in six essential growth areas, and
• find your place in the Tall Trees community that doesn’t change people but helps them grow in line with their brilliant design.
