Summary: Co-Active Coaching is the wave of the future
Review: What an inspiring concept: To be held as a powerful individual that is supported to be and do what was once only dreamed possible. That is part of what is focused throughout this book introducing the alliance of the coach and the client in an action and learning process. This book offers a springboard to discover how coaching challenge clients as they take steps toward their lifetime goals, and how the answers to all the questions are known by the clients and are revealed through the coach's curious questions. This book is a must read for anyone who desires to make this world a more loving and accepting place. After reading it, I think everyone should have a coach!

Summary: Model + Skills + Techniques = Success
Review: 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.
