Customer Reviews
a lot of words for little information
I'm very interested in this form of coaching, and am being coached successfully by someone who was trained in this system. I bought it because I was interested in learning it in order to possibly become a coach myself. So I believe in the system, but I found the book difficult to wade through. So many words that the points get buried. Too much to read that just goes on and is not terribly enlightening. I've now read the whole thing and am not sure that I know anything I didn't know before. I think the authors would have benefited from the services of a professional writer who could have done a better job of organizing the material.
Co-Active Coaching - a few insights
The basics principles of life coaching are presented in the book and I suppose it is a necessary read to obtain various concepts of this emerging profession. I was particularly interested in the concept call Process Coaching which explores the internal experiences of a client and would like to have read more than was presented. I would have liked to read about the boundaries and red flags of this form of coaching which distinguish the need to refer clients to professional counseling vice coaching. All in all, it is a little too 'New Age' for me. I prefer the approaches of Dr. Gary R. Collins, Tony Stoltzfus, or Chris McClusky.
