Book Reviews of Co-Active Coaching, 2nd Edition: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work and, Life
Book Review: ***Where's the content?!***
Summary: 2 Stars
Having graduate education and years of professional experience in personnel & organizational management & development, I found this book to be very slow and elementary. The book reads like a social column in a local paper, illustrating a laymen's perspective of coaching and development without ever hitting directly on the underlying concepts and reasons behind the advised courses of action. Perhaps the book could be summed up in the course of a few bullets:
* Work-life balance is important
* Help clients identify their personal and profesional goals
* Help clients develop action plans for achieving those goals
* Emotionally support clients during their course of pursuit
* Charge clients by the hour for your pseudo-psychological counseling
Perhaps the authors were aspiring counselors that had enough business savvy to prefer charging organizational leaders consultant rates for basic goal-setting and motivational strategies? Hey, they could have doubled their profits by writing a book about their conquests as well.... oh wait.... they did...
Book Review: The best coaching manual on the market

A well written, concise, value packed book brilliantly illustrating CTI's Co-Active model of coaching. A "must have" manual for professional coaches providing all the materials, exercises. and concepts of this extraordinary coaching model. Thanks to Laura Whitworth, Henry Kimsey-House, and Phil Sandahl for this invaluable model! I've used it in my coaching business for the past 6 years and it is constantly expanding.
