Editorial Reviews

From the Author

As Director of Training at a coaching school, new coaches were always asking me, "Do you have any of those questions you use written down somewhere?" This book is my response--an attempt to briefly present a broad range of coaching tools and illustrate each with example questions. For coaches who are in training or just starting, scanning a few key pages before your appointments will get you coaching better, faster. For experienced coaches, there are so many techniques and illustrations here that I'm sure you'll find plenty that's new.

About the Author

Tony Stoltzfus is co-founder of a coach training school, author of five coaching books and numerous training programs (including a new Open Source coach training initiative), and has presented nearly 100 coach training workshops around the country. He focuses on transformational coaching with an international clientele of pastors, non-profit leaders and businesspeople. Tony serves on the board of a non-profit that brings coaching to leaders in emerging nations, and leads a relationally-based coaching network that seeks to build coaches into authentic communities and rally them to join in acts of generosity and service.

Great workbook for student coaches

Great workbook for student coaches
I have read Michael Arloski wellness coaching for lasting lifestyle change Tony Stoltzfus' leadership coaching and Gary Collins Christian coaching. Now I am using Tony's coaching questions book to develop my coaching skills. This book is actually written as a workbook for a class of coaching students but I found it it works quite well individually. In fact I used it to self coach and greatly enjoyed it and reaped much benefit.

I’m not a trained counselor, but I am more a “lay counselor” talking to women who need guidance in their life from past decisions and mistakes. This book gives me good questions to start with and techniques to help a person open up more.

This book is great! It's exactly what I was looking for. I'm a student currently getting my certification in Life Coaching and found this book very helpful. It is broken down into easy to read sections and provides great insight into the coach/ client relationship. Once you start learning to become a life coach you start thinking in questions, and this book has great questions throughout that are designed to enhance the conversation and bring out hidden meaning for the client. It can really can lead to some transformational thinking! I feel it's a must-have for every coach.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Essential Resource for Coaches
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2011

This is the second time that I've ordered and read this book - and by read, I mean that I keep it handy and review it prior to my coaching sessions. I gifted a friend/coach with the first copy because she could not put it down when she came to visit me. I've also recommended it for a group of Coaches in Training (CITs) who were thrilled to have a book of questions for any coaching situation.

The book is easy to read and the table of contents leads you right to where you want to go. Of course, that is usually just a starting place; you'll find yourself flipping through the rest of the pages every time!

The book is a primer and the question types are handily categorized under headings such as: Life Coaching and Destiny Discovery (e.g., Dream Barriers), Advance Asking Skills (e.g., Motivation/Habit Change) and Coaching Niches (e.g., Organizational Coaching, Career Coaching, etc.).

In addition to offering great questions, the author provides side-bar tips for setting up the coaching scenario and hints and tips for asking the questions effectively.

Great value for a great coaching resource! Buy it!
