Customer Reviews

Coaching Successfully

Great little book for visual learners like me! For a new coach, this easy to carry little book helps review points and build confidence before appointments. Illustrations, diagrams and checklists are great to use in helping prioritize what needs to be addressed with clients, how to do so, and how to remain focused and be a better coach. I highly recommend it as a general pocket guide that is easy to carry with you because it's small, easy to read, understand and implement.

Coaching Successfully

Excellent publication using an effective coaching model - "GROW". It complements workshop training / executive coaching and provides participants with further tips and ideas to extend their application of workplace coaching.

Quick Read Great Overview

I was impressed with the succinct nature of the coaching successfully book. Anyone wanting a how to book, there are others out the for you. Try the Sherpa Guide. This one however is perfect for coaching students and would be clients who want a real world taste of what it feels like to be on both sides of the coaching desk. I found it very helpful and a palatible read. Some may be turned off by how short it is, but I found the authors left nothing unsaid on the subject and gave a great overview of the coaching experience.The Power of Inner Guidance: Seven Steps to Tune In and Turn On
