Excellent 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.

Leadership 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.
