Unlocking Potential: 7 Coaching Skills That Transform Individuals, Teams, & Organizations Paperback – Illustrated, 12 Aug. 2014

This is a challenging book from a top performing coach. It has some powerful insights but is a tough book for the average coach. It lacks a sense of fun and humanity, as it is geared for high end peak performance where winning and achieving come at a cost. There are some useful tools and insights to be had but I suspect most coaches are aiming for better not best, steering not driving. It is a good wake up call and a challenge and has some sound observation and great examples elevating the book in some respects but tend to speak at you more than to you. My preference is more warmth and less heat.

I liked the way is described how to do coaching and the powerful questions on each chapter. The sequence, the content, the flow, terminology, framework and strategies. I will definitely keep it as reference guide.

It was ok, but nothing extraordinary in my opinion.I'm still happy I read it, got some knowledge out of it

Lots of really useful tips and tools outlined. Most sujects are covered in enough detail to give inexperienced leaders a foot on the ladder.

Very good book for all leaders and managers

Really enjoying this book. I'd rather call it a "manual", a good list of steps to make you and your organization /team /personal life focus.

Lots great ideas, tools and questions to support individuals and organisations fulfil their potential. Great to keep as a reference for supporting coaching. We all need this in our toolkit.

starts off well but fades - some good pointers
