Coaching Questions A Coach Guide to Powerful Asking Skills Tony Stoltzfus Books Reviews
- I am new to life coaching, only if you go by the official title of an Executive Professional Life Coach. However, the concept is something I am quite familiar with, having been involved in ministry work for over 25 years, serving as a youth minister, missionary, and senior pastor, I have had several opportunities to provide various forms of coaching in differing life situations. Tony's book, Coaching Questions, would have been a valuable resource to have had in my library back then, and is one that I am glad to have the opportunity to add to it now. The information presented is timely, practical, and the format allows one to navigate the content with ease.
The book is divided into six sections, each providing valuable tools, tip and hints, and exercises to practice. In section one, Tony covers the ground work of getting started and lay out solid reasoning for the importance of asking the right questions. In section two the coaching process is covered and expounded upon with many practical tips and exercises. Section three focuses on life coaching and destiny discovery with questions designed to help the client get a clear picture of who they are and what their life's purpose is. Section four is where the author brings together the first three sections and gives the reader a picture of coaching in action. Advanced asking skills are covered in section five. Section six closes out the book looking at the different niche areas and some specific coaching strategies for each one.
Asking the right questions is at the heart of any good coaching session, and in Coaching Questions, Tony provides you with the tools to do just that. If you want to take your coaching to the next level and help your clientele discover the resources they need to become more successful in eight areas of their life ( work, money, living environment, personal growth, health and recreation, community, family, and spirituality), I would recommend adding this book to your library. - I recently bought at random 5 books on coaching as a review as I was recently referred my first coaching client. This book, “coaching questions†was by far, the most valuable. It is smart, comprehensive yet to the point, and intuitively makes sense as well. It’s the kind of book you can pick up and at any point find something of value.
- I really enjoy using this book in my coaching and training business. I like the layout of the paperback book and the tons of questions that can be adapted to any coaching subject area. It is evident that the author has experience in coaching and I love that I have access to such a powerful resource to add to my library. As a coach it is important to differentiate between asking and telling. This book presents great methods for listening and asking to enhance your coaching skills and your client's overall experience. I would highly recommend this as an added resource for anyone interested in coaching or anyone who is currently coaching. The book arrived as scheduled and I have no cons related to this purchase.
- This book is so complete I can't beleive the author said it was ment to be a quick guide.
It could perfectly be the textbook of the 11-months training I'm taking right now, i've been reading the chapters and it's keeping me ahead of the class.
Some of the introduction questions are so good I use them as a start up in consulting, teaching and coaching as well.
Such a good product, totally recommendable, and a "must" for a coach's library. - If you are a coach and your trying to polish up and come up with new questions, this is the book for you. The ebook goes on and on with pages of subjects matters and relevant questions that are extremely useful in adding tools to your tool chest of questions. This book is less about coaching and as the title infers, more about the actual questions. I found it useful, now I keep it close by to write down a few great ones every time I have a coaching interaction.
- This book seems to be helpful for someone with NO experience; someone who is new in coaching. It has many great questions and a novice coach will find them very useful.
- This is a great place to start for the novice coach. It also has some tool for the experienced coach. I like the format and the way the author chose to organize the book. I keep this handy whenever I am meeting a new coaching client for the first time.
- Fabulous book! I've just recommended it to my fellow coaches....The book is loaded with practical information that you can apply immediately to your coaching sessions. It's great for recapping on all of the things I've learned through my coaching course and can also be used as an excellent reference book. I'm super happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to any seasoned coach or coach in training.
