I have been using Coaching Illustrated for the past year and a half. I have found the concepts in the book to be a roadmap to success. In this day of management, it is imperative to have a vision and manage to that vision. I attribute many of my successes both personally and professionally to Coaching Illustrated. Thank you, Mark, for offering both the course and your book. It certainly has put some sense into my chaotic corporate life.

Coaching Illustrated is fantastic for front-line managers. I believe managers will pick up concepts they can implement immediately. Compared to other management books I have read, Coaching Illustrated is unique in its concept and design, while it is also more practically focused.

This book helps us help our clients get their employees working for the same thing, e.g., increased profits, job satisfaction, recognition, etc. I, and my organization, strongly recommend this book as an accessible approach to practical coaching.

I have many business/management books in my collection. Many of these books I have not read completely as I either lose interest or only use partial sections. Coaching Illustrated is the first in a long string of reading that I found enjoyable as well as informative. I read it cover-to-cover in the first sitting and felt compelled to read on.
