Coaching for Success

Let¿s face it¿there are times when even the best of us find ourselves in a rut. It seems that we are doing the same old things in the same old way and we feel that the excitement has gone out of our career. This is when we need to stop and do some serious looking around for a good business coach. The very best way to do this, in my opinion, is to read about what some of the best business coaches have to say about what they do and how they do it. Between the covers of this book, Coaching for Success, you will find some of the best and brightest business coaches sharing what they know about this important topic. This book is your golden opportunity to discover what they know and how to apply it to your business and personal life. I think you will agree with me that the interviews in this book will give you an insider¿s look at how to build a better life. I really enjoyed talking with these people and I learned a lot from them. I think you will too.
