Customer Reviews

Excellent Book Re: Coaching

I have been cosidering pursuing a career as a "life coach" for some time now. In an effort to ensure that this is the correct path for me, I decided to purchase this book to enhance my knowledge of what coaching is all about - hoping that it would give me an "eagles-eye" view of what to expect, and the tools I may be using. After reading "Coach Anyone...", I can honestly say that I have obtained a much better idea of the role of the life coach. On top of this, it provided me with many different ideas, models & methods to consider using in my own practice, as well as ways to counter the pitfalls that may occur. Ideas on how to build a coaching business is also included. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to both the novice and professional alike. Whether you've already started your coaching career, or are just wondering what coaching is all about, this book will provide invaluable insights to help you along the way.

Powerful insights for coaches and their clients

I was a top-rated executive coach in a Fortune 100 company. But reading and applying the wisdom and knowledge contained in this book has taken me to an entirely new, more powerful level of coaching business owners and executives and helping them achieve dramatic breakthroughs in amazingly short periods of time. It's clear that these authors are master practitioners of their craft. Theirs is not an academic or psychological approach to coaching, but rather a powerful, pragmatic set of insights, experiences and applications. Whether you are thinking about coaching as a profession, or trying to improve your management and mentoring skills, this is the single best resource you can find.

THE BEST BOOK ON COACHING!

I purchased many books on coaching when I was first considering the option of starting a coaching practice. Fortunately I happened upon Coach Anyone. This was the ONLY book that provided practical, how to step-by-step approaches to not only setting up a coaching practice, but to actually coach others. Coach Anyone is the one book that I use continually, a true reference manual, with impactful, easy to follow tools that keep the coach and the client on track to achieving the desired outcomes. Written in practical and easy-to-follow language, the authors provide a roadmap that is powerful, yet simple. There are many forms and checklists that support the coach such as the DreamMakers/DreamBrakers, and also challenge the coach to self-assessment in order to avoid mediocity. Coach Anyone is the best investment you can make. The model, which can be applied to all aspects of your business and personal life, is sure to pay for the book many times over!

GREAT BOOK - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you are interested in learning about what life coaching is and what it is not-I highly recommend you read this book. I found this book to be one of the best on the market. It explains in great detail HOW TO coach, and how NOT TO coach. I apply many of the principles outlined in this book daily--in my coaching practice.Zev Saftlas, Author of Motivation That Works: How to Get Motivated and Stay Motivated

How to Coach Transformation

This book addresses is how to facilitate transformation in those you are coaching. It starts from the understanding that context is key... (Your context fills in the meaning, obstacles and motivations that you perceive in a given situation.) Then it goes on to illustrate how one can literally generate a different context; one that empowers you and naturally leads to your taking appropriate action which is aligned with your goals and purposes. And of course, it teaches you how to facilitate this for others.This book will not only teach you how to be a great coach, but it will facilitate you in being someone who makes meaningful contributions to the lives of those you work with.How wonderful would it be for everyone around you to be breaking through barriers that stopped them and realizing possibilities that inspire us all?OK... let me bring this back to black and white practicality. These are the intentions and outcomes this book promises (taken from the Introduction):* Take the mystery out of coaching.* Erase the notion or myth that coaching is difficult.* Discover essential and proven coaching principles.* Experience the magnificence of others (and yourself).* Use coaching models and tools.* Say, "I can do this! I can coach!"If this is something that you want, buy this book.
