Book Review: A Solid Framework for Coaching
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a solid, client focused framework for professional coaching this resource is a must.

Book Review: Insightful!
Summary: 4 Stars
The theory of co-active coaching that provides the title for this book makes sense: By making the interaction between coach and coachee a relationship of equals, both parties will feel less constrained by pre-assigned roles, and thereby freed to learn from another. Unfortunately, the rest of the book fails to live up to the promise of the initial intriguing, yet common-sense idea. Specifically, the coaching methods and tools described by the authors never progress beyond generalities that basically amount to this: The client already has the answers, the coach just has to bring them out by being curious and creating a safe place where the client can be honest and take risks. However, we [...] do recommend this book on the basis of a few features, like the excellent sample dialogues and illustrative hypothetical examples, which provide simple but valuable lessons to managers, consultants, teachers and all manner of would-be coaches.Book Review: Model + Skills + Techniques = Success
Summary: 5 Stars
While I am already coaching, this book was very helpful to me. There are as many ways of coaching as there are coaches, and this delineates one succinct method to follow in a relatively new, unregulated, and confusing field. The numerous pages of "tools" are worth the money alone. Wish I hadn't spent what I spent on a CD to get other versions. The skills and techniques affirm what I've been doing already, but push me onward with conviction, adding layers to my understanding of how to be most effective. It's the clearest description of coaching I've come across and I recommend it highly. It's well written, authoritative and highly useable.Book Review: Meaty book with the foundation for coaching
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book to get a better foundation in coaching. I've done coaching before but never really followed a prescribed method. This book has given me some valuable insight and has also confirmed the methods I presently use. It reads very much like a text book, but is now a valuable part of my coaching library. I know I will refer to it again and again as I grow my coaching practice!Book Review: It is one of the good book that I could find about coaching
Summary: 4 Stars
I am trying to find some relevant sources about coaching. At the end I felt that I am getting closer to this concept. Giving some basic ideas about how to behaive as a coach and then giving some ideas about the structure of coaching. If you are intersted to become a coach, yes you should read this one.
