Title: Not my favorite coaching book ever
Product review: I've read a great many books on coaching--this is not one of them. Jay's work is simply a rehash of other, better texts. The only thing he's done here is repackage it and does so with more typos than usual. Having seen Jay speak, I often cring when someone proclaims themselves as the "world's most innovative coach." To me, that's just marketing husbandry. Jay obviously has taken from the inept Joe Vitale school of self-promotion: If you claim it, fools will believe it. If you're serious about coaching, try James Flaherty's COACHING: EVOKING EXCELLENCE IN OTHERS. There you'll find the focus on the RELATIONSHIP as opposed to trendy and mechanistic tools that you can find for free on an Internet web search.
