Some decent advice, but it's all a bit too new-agey for my tastes.
Life changing book
This was recommended to me by my own coach, although he admitted to not having read it! Some honesty right there! Reading this book has shown me that my decision at the age of 49 to start a brand new business as a coach is the right one. The way the book is laid out is just right at building the framework in my mind, without being too esoteric. It also does not read like a sales pitch for the coaching credentials, which I really liked about it. Although it does mention the ‘tools' a lot. I imagine that as soon as I open up the tools page, I'll get pixelled, but that's actually fine with me. I need to learn how to do that myself and keep in mind that marketing my business is not cringeworthy!
I have a lot of highlights and notes from the book and will be going through them shortly in a progressive summarisation way. There was just so much value that I feel like writing up maybe an article would be a great way for me to consolidate what I've learned and internalise it.
