Comment: Co-Active Coaching, 2nd Edition: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work and, Life is an excellent resource and is being used as a text book in the class I am taking at Career Coach Academy. I highly recommend this book for the serious student of career coaching... Customer Rating: Summary: Good Reference Book Comment: A good solid book on coaching. It is a "How To" guide, but works equally well as a reference. Lots of information broken up into short narrative sections each with own heading. You can thumb through the book and find what you want reasonably quickly. Customer Rating: Summary: Educational and Insightful Comment: I found Co-Active Coaching to be an easy read and filled with useful information for anyone in the coaching world. The book came with a CD that contained very useful forms and additional information. One of the things that really stuck out in my mind after reading this book is that everyone is creative, resourceful, and whole. Keeping this in mind when coaching clients will help to stay focused on the fact that people can make the changes necessary to better their lives and move forward. It is not the coach's job to dig into their client's past but rather to help their client focus on where they are today and where they would like to be in the future. The coach is then able to provide tools and insigts and to help pave the path to helping their clients achieve their goals. I would definitely recommend this book to others, and feel it is a great addition to any coach training program. Isabelle Zehnder Certified Family Coach [...] Customer Rating: Summary: Powerful questions and more... Comment: I'm an Agile coach at a software company and I got a reference to this book from a colleague specifically for 'Chapter 5 - Curiosity'. After reading that section and the toolkit on CD, I read other chapters and WOW!!! This book rocks. I work with teams more than individuals but a lot of the concepts can fall to Agile Scrum teams that are looking to move to self-organization instead of command and control. I look to share some nuggets with my team to help them improve. More Reviews
