Dramatic, life changing coaching tools that are easy to use!
The Portable Coach packs the essence of the latest coaching technology into a compact and easily understood book. The tools provided are dramatic and life changing and are highlighted with real-life examples. The format is very pleasing with appropriate and memorable quotes, distinctions that clarify the language, top ten lists that provide practical answers, and the assessment tests that help you know where to start in using the tools to improve the quality of your life. Wow! a great package. I am using the book daily in my life and with my clients.

Tony Robbins should have written this one!
This is a very impressive work! I've worked as a personal development trainer (Dale Carnegie and NLP) in the past and found this book to deliver more than it promises. You could read a ton of self-help books by a variety of well-known authors and easily not come away with half the high-quality material that is in this straight-forward book. I definitely think that this book should have sold much more and should be in every successful person's personal development library. I say that I wish that Tony Robbins had written this because he may have added a little more flair, stories, humor, and enjoyment to the writing. But as far as content is concerned, this one's got it. You couldn't go wrong buying this one. It's a gem.

Thomas Leonard is not for everyone, but...
If you can get through the first chapter on "selfishness," this book really does have a lot to offer. Using charged words like "become incredibly selfish" and absolutes like "tolerate nothing" was an integral part of Leonard's in-your-face, we-don't-have-time-for-you-not-to-get-this style. So many of us in the professional coaching industry have been touched by Leonard. We owe him a big debt of gratitude for making the profession of "coaching" the big opportunity it is for us today. This book is a good legacy to the man, as well as to what he thought was important for us to understand in our lives and in the lives of our clients. Similar Products
