Coaching for Breakthrough Success: Proven Techniques for Making Impossible Dreams Possible

I was recommended this book by a friend who is a Master Coach. I am so happy for that recommendation. My findings; well, if you are a coach or considering a coaching career, or a leader with aspiration to learn more about great leadership, this is the book for you.I came across this book when telling my friend I was seeking a source clearly explaining step-by-step processes, models and powerful questions.This book took me to another professional level in many aspects, as I both wanted to explore methods for improvement of my own life as well as a leader and coach.The absolute best outcome for me after reading this book - written by the gurus Dr. Peter Chee and Jack Canfield - is of course the possibility to use it in daily life after reading it just once. It’s full of visual models and cases studies. For me, the best part as complement to the theories is the “scripts” and not least, several hundreds of situation-based examples of powerful coaching questions.There is also an index at the end of the book, so it is an easy to use reference book, even in live coaching sessions, if needed.Nowadays, I also use the Meta Model 30-6-8 – in details explained in the book - as a coaching foundation & reference for developing my own coaching career.The only thing I feel is missing in the book is that all models and visuals are in black and white. I would have preferred some of the visuals and graphs to be in color as they are so great and it would be even more empowering. However, no big issue for me and I also decided to buy the audio book and together with the book it’s a great learning companion.I highly recommend this book. Probably the best investment a coach or leader can make when desiring to take their knowledge to another level. At least it worked for me and I have read several books about coaching.

Great book. I have been coaching for many years and this book has helped me to reflect on some of the coaching techniques I have been using, and opening up my mind to new ways of helping people reach their full potential. I especially enjoyed reading the many case studies included in the book, which helped translating the coaching frameworks described to real life situations. Good reading material for new and experienced coaches!

I can only but recommend this book, one of the best in my hands for a long time, and I am an avid reader. I have never highlighted so many passages of a book. This book destills knowledge, passion, solid research, willingness to share, and deep care about others. In this book you will find all you need to understand what real coaching is, the coaching process, and many tools to bring your coaching skills to next level. This is not a one time read book, but a manual to come back, time after time. Thank you Mr. Canfield and Dr. Chee for such inspiring work.

As I am feeling more enthusiastic about training to become a life coach, I am loving listening to this coaching CD, The advice is spot on. I am just casually listening for now, but I will sit down and take notes next time I listen to it.

One of the best book on Life and Performance Coaching I have ever read. I am a certified Professional Performance Coach and this book helped me to reinforce and clarify some important concepts and also apply the techniques and the learning with my clients!No doubt Jack Canfield is one of my fav authors in the personal development field. Even if you are not a coach you can actually learn everything you need to know to become a good one or to improve your current skill.A must!

This coaching resource includes practical principles, techniques and a situational coaching framework within one holistic model and is brought to life with case studies.

I originally read this book that I borrowed from the library. Great content and I learned a lot so I thought it was worthy of investing in buying a copy for myself. As I still had the copy from the library when I received my own new copy, I was very disappointed to see that the image, print and paper quality were awful. First, the cover is a different shade with a yellow-ish green tone. Instead of a nice thick white paper, it is now yellowish looking. The paper is thinner so the ink from the other side produces a ghosting effect of the words. AND the actual text looks fuzzy, not nice and crisp. It looks like it's been printed by an inkjet printer and not a quality printing press. It looks like someone is trying to save printing costs while still charging for a premium hardcover book. Very disappointed.

Als vollzeitig tätiger Business Coach kann ich dieses buch durchaus empfehlen. Neben den kurz aber konkret erwähnten Grundlagen wird anhand von Beispielen und Fallstudien das Handwerk des Coaching erklärt und vor allem ganz deutlich von Beratung und Mentoring unterschieden. Dieses Buch ist ideal für jeden, der es mit Coaching ernst meint und anderen wirklich weiterhelfen möchte. Würde ich weiterempfehlen!
