I have read lots of motivational books, and this was one of the most inspiring. The book is chock full of practical suggestions for getting your own house in order and, then, for helping others to do the same.

Lou Tice has a wonderful way of taking complex topic and making them very easy to understand, but better yet apply it. The concepts are solid and very well researched. This book can help you personally and professionally.

I would highly recommend this book for leaders of any size organization.

I am on the lookout for books that do not tell you what to do to improve, but rather concentrate on changing who you are. The behaviors to change are easy if they come from a changed definition of who you are. Personal Coaching for Results is a book that fits into that category... It deals more with who we are rather than what we do. It is obvious why Lou Tice has been successful with the message contained in this book - it touches peoples lives in a way that most books do not. I would give it a "must read" recommendation.

Do you want to bring out the best in people? In yourself? Did you ever wonder why some people seem to be able to take on any task, achieve (seemingly) insurmountable goals, grow at an exponential rate, and cultivate those around them? As a Leadership & Professional Development Consultant, I am constantly on the lookout for new concepts, ideas or tools that will help people reach "the next level."

Lou Tice, in his book, Personal Coaching For Results: How to Mentor and Inspire Others to Amazing Growth (ISBN 0-7852-6945-2), shares some basic concepts that most highly successful people already do naturally, and that can easily be learned and used by you.

His book offers a host of great ideas on personal growth, personal mastery and mentoring others. The first part of the book focuses on personal growth; the second focuses on helping others become their best (mentor) as well as being a good "mentee." Lou takes some basic, familiar concepts that we have all heard over the years, and brings them together in a way that makes sense - and in a way that I can use. The tools are all about developing your own self esteem & self efficacy (causative power), and then, those around you.

The growth process Lou describes is: regularly self examine (to), gain insights. Change (or raise) your expectations and change your self-image or self concept. Set clear goals and use the "I x V = R" (Imagination times Visualization with feeling & emotion becomes Reality) process to create your desired results.

In an effort to live a balanced life, I have found this book to be extremely beneficial. Personal Coaching for Results is easy to read, a challenge to implement, and well worth the price of admission.

The 1st half I skimmed over because I'm looking for something to help me coach others so I tried to breeze past the self-help sector. The end proved a lot more helpful, just what I was looking for.
