What What Others are Saying About This Course:

        Exceptional! This book is very informative, concise and comprehensive. It covers all the necessary ethics for coaching. Also all the basic competencies and masteries of coaching from the two largest coach associations. Gives you a jump-start in your coaching proficiency. A good reminder, even for well seasoned coaches. The sample "Informed Consent," "Coaching Intake Form," and "Coaching Contract" forms were most helpful.
