 A practical, holistic manual for workplace coaches January 24, 2008
Rolf Dobelli (Luzern Switzerland)
Ten years ago, coaches were essentially consultants who prescribed specific behaviors for clients struggling in the workplace. These days, coaches have much more experience and expertise; the best of them relate to their clients "co-actively," as partners rather than as authority figures. In fact, Laura Whitworth, Karen Kimsey-House, Henry Kimsey-House and Phillip Sandahl contend that such coaching can facilitate fundamental changes in many aspects of a client's life, not just at work, and they outline the skills coaches need to accomplish this. The book includes a CD that explains the basic principles of their philosophy, and an appendix with forms and exercises for coaches and clients. getAbstract recommends it to managers and human resource professionals who want to brush up the softer side of their coaching skills.
A great introduction to coaching October 9, 2007
Kerwin Hack (Cambridge)
This book serves as a great introduction to coaching. It is the basis for the coaching training provided by the Coaches Training Institute. However, this book is useful for those people who want to make changes in their own lives, as well as for people looking for a career in coaching. The style is accessible, with many examples and exercises to practice. With the second edition, there is a resources CD that contains forms (for those of you who don't want to mark your books!) as well as audio recordings of coaching sessions, which really bring the book to life. If you want to find out about becoming a coach, or just want to use the skills to improve your own life, this book is a great start.

I used this book to complement my in-person training with the Coach Training Institute. It's an invaluable reference tool, taking you through the key cornerstones, contexts, principles and skills of Coactive Coaching. I would highly recommend underlining, highlighting & scribbling on it as part of your continued professional development!

A great model for coaching August 20, 2003
Barry Zweibel, CPCC, GottaGettaCoach! Incorporated (Chicago, Illinois)
51 out of 54 found this review helpful
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!
 A fairly interesting taster for aspiring coaches February 22, 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.
