Reviews (208)
Client focused coaching in a concise format.
The title is truly what is covered in this short, concise read packed with powerful insight and suggestions. A worthwhile read.
Good quick read
Very good advice and perspective. I tend to lean towards dealing with the problem instead of the person. I’ve been growing to understand that building a strong foundation as a person, is critical when trying to solve your problems. Build a strong dam instead of always trying to repair multiple cracks. Thank you for your time putting this book together.
Good read
Finally read this book and I think that good things come in small packages. It has one of the best explanations of how to think of and use emotions in the life coaching space.
Person-focused interactions
Susinct, helpful insights for improving your professional coaching. And employing the insights won't hurt at home. Who wouldn't want to receive this kind of personal coaching, let alone personal connection at home.
Excellent overview for experienced coaches and consultants
The book is straight to the point and gives excellent advice on some new angles and somangles one should be using if they're in the coaching and consulting business. Good practical and practical information you can put the work right away.
Práctico y táctico
Una introducción bastante estructurada al tema del coaching que en pocas páginas me invitó a reflexionar sobre mi estilo de coaching y cuál es el más frecuente o sobre el que soy más requerido
Good but short
Good material here but, as stated at the end, it was a text version based on a short talk. It could have (and should have) been expanded. There is a lot left to interpretation, and it could be interpreted poorly.
Short and Sweet
This book is NOT going to teach you how to become a coach if your brand new, and the author is up front about that. If your newer to coaching but have some training the book is great. Most the tips in here followed what my coaching school teaches, however some of these explanations gave me more depth of understanding or explained it is a way that related to me more. I was not a fan of how the author addresses a few things but I love that it was short, sweet, and straight to the point. I do with there was a bit more here and not spread over many books but I also understand that there is a marketing intent behind this meant to drive you to get the authors coaching.
Great Insight, Practical and Straightforward
I highly recommend this book for anyone who does coaching or even is considering coaching as it describes well what coaching is, and even more importantly, what transformational coaching looks like. I believe this will be useful as well in my industry where we walk people through recovery and rebuild of their lives after disaster. Helping them to develop a new "normal" stronger then before is important and coaching will help them move in that direction. I say that as I am also a trained coach with John Maxwell, so my comments take into consideration the combination of this book and my training and experience as a coach. If you are a beginner or just looking into coaching, this book will help you to see what the end should look like when you start your Journey.
This coach trainer recommends this very quick read
This book clearly distinguishes consulting (which is what most beginning coaches do), problem-based coaching (which improves the client’s thinking) and person-focused coaching (which can be transformational). I have taught coaches for ten years, and I believe this book will improve my coaching moving forward. I will recommend it to others. My thanks to the author.
