From the Inside Flap

Are you doing what you can do today?

Internationally acclaimed business coach and consultant Kim George provides an easy-to-master process for coaches, business owners, and leaders to bring out innate greatness and achieve peak performance. Individuals can step out of their safe but stagnant lives and, without struggle, do the things they most want to do by understanding and developing a revolutionary kind of intelligence, called Abundance Intelligence (AQ).

According to Kim George, the key to living into our greatness is moving from a mentality of scarcity to one of abundance. Her book awakens you and your clients to the real reasons people get stuck and don't do what they can do by introducing the concept that the ultimate scarcity is resisting who you are, often caused by past events, circumstances, or experiences. With this awareness, clients learn that they already have everything they need to do the things they want. Next, Kim George sets forth a four-step, cyclical living-into-greatness process that enables you and your clients to experience and build on success.

The living-into-greatness process is brought to life in discussions of seven key illusions: the illusions of not-enough, comparisons, struggle, control, time, hope, and certainty. Using the four-step living-into-greatness process, you'll learn to move anyone past the illusions to embrace the seven key abundance aptitudes of self-worth, empathy, self-expression, surrender, actualization, significance, and inquiry. Personal examples from the author's own life, client case studies, and profiles of highly successful individuals demonstrate how the process works and how it helps individuals live into greatness. This rigorous, tested approach is recommended for all coaches, business owners, managers, and leaders.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Abundant Living textbook for everyone, not just coaches. A valuable resource for a changing world., May 19, 2006
This review is from: Coaching Into Greatness: 4 Steps to Success in Business and Life (Hardcover)
What's your AQ (Abundance Quotient)? Does scarcity thinking keep you from living into your greatness? How are the Illusions of Scarcity holding you back and keep you from being all you can be?

If you've felt the changes happening in the world - the shift toward creating an open, loving and more abundant way of living - and wanted some of that for yourself, then look no further. Because Kim George, a highly respected and renowned life coach and pioneer in the field of Abundance, has written the best book available on how to do just that.

She doesn't just tell you about scarcity thinking and how it narrows down and swallows up your life. She teaches you how to turn your life around 180 degrees to embrace Abundance and all its gifts - and offers simple, concrete, step-by-step actions for breaking through the Illusions of Scarcity that keep you from living into your own greatness.

In addition to laying out the Illusions and their counterpoints, she illustrates the concepts and draws analogies and examples from real life to help you see the Illusions and their Abundant opposites in action, using stories from her own life, from those of her clients and from the lives of the several powerful business people, thought leaders and progressive individuals who shared their insights with her for the book.

If you're worried about spending your hard-earned cash for another serving of fluffy, marshmallow-creme motivational text, don't be. This isn't a self-help snack filled with happy-puppy aphorisms and esoteric practices that leave you no better off than you were before. It's a solid, exhaustive, and functional coaching-program-in-a-book for creating real change and real growth, and that offers real answers to the real problems people face every day in their struggle with scarcity thinking.

Whether you're a coach looking for a new way to help others, a manager or other group leader who wants to build a foundation of greatness in your followers, a parent who wants to put your children on the path to their own personal greatness, or just someone aching for Abundance in your own life, you need this book.

Buy one for yourself. Then put it on your list of gifts for anyone and everyone that you love. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting Edge Growth Strategies..., July 13, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Coaching Into Greatness: 4 Steps to Success in Business and Life (Hardcover)
I initially thought this book was for coaches only. Boy was I wrong! This book is like a coach unto itself, helping people get rid of the illusions that limit our life.

I've read tons of self-help books, business and leadership books, as well as books on spiritual growth. Kim George's manual on success stands among the best of them all, and is uniquely different from the rest in that she created her own paradigm and language for success--AQ, or Abundance Intelligence.

This book is easy to read if you are genuinely wanting to take your life to the next level. However, there will be moments when if you genuinely do the exercises, you'll be forced to confront your most limiting beliefs.

As I go through that process, having created my Declaration, and am working on all of my exercises and questions, I find myself growing in an new ways.

Here are some golden nuggets from the book. If these "Kimisms" (my word, not hers!) resonate with you, you need to read this book!

* You are the significance you've been waiting for!
* Struggle is strictly overrated!
* You are authentic when you are living your life according to the truth of who you are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to live in abundance and become fluent in your own greatness!, May 27, 2006
This review is from: Coaching Into Greatness: 4 Steps to Success in Business and Life (Hardcover)
I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to read many great books. There are only a few other occasions in which an author's message has impacted me in the way that Kim George's message has. Kim is in good company with Depak Chopra, Daniel Goleman and Debra Benton.

Any organization serious about success must see the incorporation of the four step coaching model as a necessity. This book unlocks the secrets to a workforce that has grown more enigmatic in the face of an increasingly challenging world. Kim George has given brilliant coherent structure to concepts that have previously been thought of as complex and difficult to grasp.

The mindset of abundance is one that I have been integrating into my being over the past decade or so. My attempts to spread the word in the corporate setting were only semi-successful. The frame and content to Kim's message reverberates so deeply with me because it is the first model I have seen that would have real viability in a corporate setting. All organizations would be wise to integrate the AQ aptitudes into their hiring process, training and development and into their performance appraisal program.

On a personal level this book has changed my life. If learning a foreign language like Spanish helps one in getting around this world; learning the language of abundance will make one feel like they rule the world. Learn the language that speaks no fear that expresses no scarcity, a language that will unite your heart with the freedom and happiness it deserves.

Learn to live in abundance and become fluent in your own greatness!
