The Life Coaching Handbook Paperback – March 1, 2002

The book is a bit out of date but you can still use it in your tool box as a life coach as a start kit.

Love and learned a lot. Must buy

I liked the step by step walk through of what is required to be a coach, I have read other books in coaching, this was the best, I learned a lot and plan to re-read!

I pre-ordered this book and couldn't wait for it to be delivered! It did not disappoint! I was totally impressed with her Beautiful Faces book and even more blown away by this one! The way she breaks things down and simplifies them makes it so easy to understand. Jane is an inspiring and caring teacher who makes you believe in your ability to draw and encourages you to do it. Her drawings alone are inspiring and she also has tutorials to go along with her books so you can watch her draw and paint her sketches. Seriously, the images alone are worth the price of these books.

Hey, if you can’t be a licensed therapist, be a life coach. The author throws out concepts like NLP and Eriscksonian hypnosis but knows just enough to almost sound credible. Almost. Needed this for a class and regretted the read.

great

I've read a few coaching books but none so detailed and organized as this one. The author has created a program that moves chapter to chapter, from beginning techniques to more advanced techniques. If followed in order, the potential coach with learn from start to finish how to begin a coaching session, what to say, how to organize the session correctly, how to communicate effectively with the client and motivate them to improve their lives. It also contains information on how to start your own coaching business. There are many valuable techniques to choose from as well. I was more than impressed with this book!

This is one of the finest instructional books I have ever delved into. Ms. Martin has a simple, yet powerful way of sharing her ideas and experiences. Many times I have read similar works that speak only to theories rather than the nuts and bolts of how to begin the actual work. She also displays a strength and shall I say, a backbone within her tone of instruction. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone that works with others in a counseling or coaching mode.
