5.0 out of 5 stars Whole-person coaching...a powerful approach., 28 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Co-coaching is distinctive in that it involves both the coach and the client; it is also referred to as personal/professional coaching because it addresses the whole person (the whole of their life).

Many books we have reviewed on this subject, while of value within the workplace, do not strive to address the multidimensional nature of the individual. In contrast, the approach presented here is distinctly holistic.

The authors' offer a model plus a set of skills and techniques. The book is filled with specifics and excellent insights, and gives extensive guidance about how to be highly effective in coaching. About 75 pages are devoted to "The Coach's Toolkit," consisting of forms, checklists, exercises, resources and a glossary. This book offers a potentially powerful approach to coaching. It is, in our view, requisite reading for anyone involved in, or considering, coaching. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great model for coaching, 20 Aug 2003
For ANYONE looking to understand the power of coaching and how it works, this is THE book to own. Co-active coaching provides a beautiful model that's broad enough to use with all of your coaching clients and deep enough to enable truly powerful coaching. The book is based on the cirriculum of The Coaches Training Institute coach training program, and even though I earned my CPCC (certified professional co-active coach)certification several years ago, I continue to dog-ear, underline, and highlight this book every time I take it from my bookcase. It gets better with each new read!

3.0 out of 5 stars A fairly interesting taster for aspiring coaches, 22 Feb 2002
This was the first book I read on the road to becoming a full time coach. It didn't help me take on my first client, but it wet my appetite for coaching and has some excellent tools that I use on a daily basis. It is a reader teaser, it flirted with this eager aspiring coach without ever quite satisfying him. A salad when I wanted a steak. Realistically, I think it is a text book for a course. Worth buying for the tools and an overview of the methods of another of the big US coaching colleges if you are looking for an accreditation course.
