Product Description
A newly revised edition of the book that helped define the coaching profession, Co-Active Coaching captures the essence of what it takes to design and maintain successful, collaborative, and empowering coaching relationships. The authors describe in detail their flexible and adaptive model-placing the client's agenda at the heart of the coaching partnership, define the skills required for success, provide dozens of sample coaching conversations, and a power-packed Coach's Toolkit of over 35 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and forms to make these proven principles and techniques eminently practical and immediately actionable.

 Great Resource for Coaches July 13, 2008
The CD of the forms is a great help. Book came quickly and is just as the seller described.
This Excellent Book is used as a text book! June 6, 2008
Co-Active Coaching, 2nd Edition: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work and, Life is an excellent resource and is being used as a text book in the class I am taking at Career Coach Academy. I highly recommend this book for the serious student of career coaching...
 Good Reference Book May 15, 2008
A good solid book on coaching. It is a "How To" guide, but works equally well as a reference. Lots of information broken up into short narrative sections each with own heading. You can thumb through the book and find what you want reasonably quickly.
Educational and Insightful May 9, 2008
I found Co-Active Coaching to be an easy read and filled with useful information for anyone in the coaching world. The book came with a CD that contained very useful forms and additional information.
One of the things that really stuck out in my mind after reading this book is that everyone is creative, resourceful, and whole. Keeping this in mind when coaching clients will help to stay focused on the fact that people can make the changes necessary to better their lives and move forward. It is not the coach's job to dig into their client's past but rather to help their client focus on where they are today and where they would like to be in the future. The coach is then able to provide tools and insigts and to help pave the path to helping their clients achieve their goals.
I would definitely recommend this book to others, and feel it is a great addition to any coach training program.

Powerful questions and more... May 7, 2008
I'm an Agile coach at a software company and I got a reference to this book from a colleague specifically for 'Chapter 5 - Curiosity'. After reading that section and the toolkit on CD, I read other chapters and WOW!!! This book rocks. I work with teams more than individuals but a lot of the concepts can fall to Agile Scrum teams that are looking to move to self-organization instead of command and control. I look to share some nuggets with my team to help them improve.
