Leadership Coaching: The Disciplines, Skills, and Heart of a Christian Coach

Leadership Coaching is an essential tool for anyone who wants to learn to coach or improve their coaching skills. Written by a top Christian coach trainer, it is filled with real-life stories, practical tools and application exercises that bring coaching techniques to life. Part I is an in-depth look at how coaching fits with the purposes of God. Starting with key biblical concepts about how God builds leaders, this book goes beyond proof-texting to present an integrated, values-based paradigm for leadership coaching. Part II uses a hands-on, interactive approach to show you how to coach. Utilizing the seven key elements of effective coaching as a framework, each facet of the coaching relationship is explained in detail. Then follow-up Master Class sections help you internalize the key concepts and try them out in real life. Leadership coaching is a great introduction to a powerful way of helping others grow.

5Excellent book for people interested in coaching  Dec 25, 2008
I recently made the decision that I want to train as a life coach and started looking for resources. This book is a wonderful resource because it has helped me think through why I want to coach and I have clarified my own values and life.

One of the best principles I took away from this book is that coaching is far different from mentoring or counseling because a coach uses OPEN ENDED questions to get a client to work on finding solutions for their life. I have often listened to others but sometimes found myself wanting to educate them. As I read the sample coaching scenarios in the book, I became convinced that OPEN ENDED questions are the best way to coach.

For those who are wanting a book on "how to build your business to make $X" - this is not it. This book is on how to become the best coach you can be - and how to be authentic and effective with everyone you meet - whether they are a client or not.

This is a "MUST HAVE" book for every Christian coach.

5Leadership Coaching: The Disciplines, Skills, and Heart of a Christian Coach   Jun 19, 2008
After reading Tony's book, I understand why it is often used as the textbook for various Christian Coaching education centers. He delves into the science of many of the tenets of life coaching in plain language, and illustrates the art of practical applications of those principles through real examples of coaching situations. I consider Tony's book and John Whitmore's Coaching for Performance two essential books for anyone interested in the study of life coaching.
