Dave Ellis, a master coach himself, offers coaches excellent, practical suggestions. I've studied life coaching for nearly 20 years and have been a practicing life coach for the past 10 years. I use the strategies in this book as the foundation for my successful coaching practice. If you are serious about helping others, don't miss the opportunity to read and use this book.

I am studying to be a Life Coach. I found this book to be extremely clear and well-organized. It kept my attention throughout. In fact, once I started reading it I didn't want to put it down. I learned a lot from this book and am already practicing the techniques that it covers in my own coaching practice. I recommend this book to all helping professionals, even those who are experienced with Life Coaching. I also want to mention that I have written 12 books myself and am therefore a VERY discriminating reader. It says a lot that I have given this book such high accolades!

Very highly recommended reading, Life Coaching: A Manual For Helping Professionals by workshop instructor and professional life coach Dave Ellis is an effective guide for all therapists, counselors, social workers, consultants, and other helping professionals searching for a comprehensive understanding of life coaching presented in a "user-friendly", easy to follow text. Introducing an expert innovative interpretation an approach to life coaching, Life Coaching acts uncompromisingly as expert reference for readers in search of a more active, effective, and knowledgeably informed conceptual therapeutic framework. Life Coaching is an excellent addition to the library reference collections of all counselors working with life coaching.

This is an excellent book, very well written. As a practicing Life and Business Coach, I found this book to be practical, informative, detailed, and yet un-complicated. It presents clear understanding of some of the challenges of building a Life Coaching Practice, and allows the reader to grow in a progressive way towards better understanding and deeper coaching.
