This is a terrific book. The way it was set up was ideal for me to quickly scan it and focus on areas of most pertinent to me. I found it to be practical, personal and timely.

Why this book?
This is a coaching book that focuses on providing inspiration and leadership development.
Coaching is a term that is very popular in the corporate environment and I’ll share some background information that I read in Kevin Hall’s book entitled, “Aspire – Discovering your purpose through the power of words”. The word Coach derives from the horse-drawn coaches that were developed in the town of Kocs during the fifteenth century. The vehicles were originally used to transport royalty, but in time they also carried valuables, mail and common passengers. Kevin states, “A coach remains something or someone who carries a valued person from where they are to where they want to be.” So, if you had a coach, you knew you would end up at your desired destination.
“John Maxwell states in his book, The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, “coaches make a difference in other’s lives. They help them grow, improve their potential, increase their productivity and are essential to helping people effect positive change.”
