2.0 out of 5 stars Few good forms in otherwise poorly organized book, March 25, 2009
By 
This review is from: The Coaching Starter Kit: Everything You Need to Launch and Expand Your Coaching Practice (Paperback)
The most important note to make about this book is that it is only a book of forms. There are no essays or articles in it that will help you learn about coaching.

Some of the forms might be useful to someone who is starting up a new coaching practice. The main thing I noticed about the forms is that they are repetitive. There are multiple intake forms, multiple coaching FAQ forms, multiple "First Coaching Session" forms, etc... Each with basically the same information. The worst thing about the book is that the forms are not well organized.

There are definitely better books out there to introduce you to coaching.

One Better Recommendation:
There is one book in my current library that came with a CD-ROM filled with forms you can edit and then print or send in email to your clients. The book itself was also a great intro to coaching: Fabjob guide to Becoming a Life Coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to its advance acclaim., February 27, 2006

This review is from: The Coaching Starter Kit: Everything You Need to Launch and Expand Your Coaching Practice (Paperback)
Having perused the many publications currently available on coaching, I chose to order this particular book when I saw that noted psychologist and coach Dr. Sandra Nahan had given it high praise. As usual, Dr. Nahan is right on target. With a wealth of information, strategies, and ready-to-use forms, the book provides thorough, easy-to-use guidance through the steps of establishing a successful coaching practice. It is user friendly and most worthwhile.

This review is from: The Coaching Starter Kit: Everything You Need to Launch and Expand Your Coaching Practice (Paperback)
I asked an experienced coach to review the content to see if it was worth keeping and she agreed. She checked specific chapters I should read, forms to use, etc.

It has provided the start that I need before I meet my first client.
