This is one of those rare books which has something for everyone. One of the most comprehensive guides to becoming a powerful coach which starts from the basics and takes us to the essentials of mastery.

This book has embraced the complexity of coaching literature, approaches and tools. It has then structured and presented them in a fashion that brings together the chaos to a usable format. I can safely say that this book would offer a new idea, approach or perspective even to the most experienced of coaches.
