Coach to ALIGN, the first book in Shaine’s “Leadership Series” for multi-level leaders has been recognized with the distinguished International Impact Book Awards , honoring exceptional talent and impact in the publishing world in two categories: Business—Leadership and Management and Leadership—Leadership Mindset and Psychology and two “The BookFest Book Awards – Fall 2025 (Bronze)” in the following non-fiction categories: Business Leadership – Professional Growth and Business Leadership – Leadership & Management. Recently recognized as Category Finalist in the 2025 Literary Global Book Awards – Business Careers and 2026 Independent Press Award’s Distinguished Favorite for Leadership.
This book will introduce you to the four distinct personalities that impact coaching (Feelers, Thinkers, Controllers, and Entertainers), the ALIGN Coaching Model, the On-the-Spot ALIGNment (OTSA) Form, and the ALIGN Coaching Roadmap—a dynamic, two-way communication tool designed specifically for leaders who want to empower their team members to drive their own success.
This framework is built on the idea that leadership is best expressed through positive, engaging dialogues where both coach and team members are active participants in the growth journey. This approach transforms traditional top‑down feedback into a collaborative conversation that fosters genuine accountability and continuous improvement.
This achievement is what we call – ALIGNment!
At the core of our system lies the ALIGN Coaching Model (Analyze Behaviors, Leverage Relationships, Inquire, Gain Next Steps, and New Commitment)—foundational guidelines that shape each interaction at every level.
These principles encourage authenticity, integrity, and mutual respect, ensuring that every conversation is rooted in trust and focused on measurable outcomes. By establishing an environment where both successes and challenges are openly discussed, the ALIGN Coaching Roadmap and the On-the-Spot ALIGNment (OTSA) Form help to create a culture that values proactive learning and relentless pursuit of excellence.
