Praise for Co-Active Coaching, 3rd Edition “With its third updated edition, Co-Active Coaching remains the bible of coaching guides. Written with a powerful, distinctive approach, no other book gives you the tools, the skills, and the fundamentals needed to succeed in these delicate relationships.” —Stephen R. Covey, Author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The Leader in Me “In Co-Active Coaching, the dynamic Kimsey-House duo, along with Phillip Sandahl, have elevated coaching from an instructional tool to an art form! Picasso would be proud. Seldom have I seen such a clear road map for how to ‘overcome actions that sabotage desires, plans and dreams.’ Collaboration, cooperation, coalition — all necessary components of a successful working relationship. The KimseyHouses and Sandahl prove to us that Co-Active Coaching is vital as well. As a gym coach leads his trainee to a higher state of physical health and wellbeing, Co-Active Coaching provides business coaches a toolkit for helping their clients achieve professional and personal success. Co-Active Coaching should be required reading for every manager or employee who wants to succeed in the workplace.” —Marshall Goldsmith, Million-Selling Author, New York Times Bestsellers MOJO and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There “Co-Active Coaching exudes the catalytic power to transform
your organization and your life. Read it, savor it, and practice it to become a purpose-filled leader of life!” —Kevin Cashman, Best-Selling Author, Leadership from the Inside Out and Awakening the Leader Within “I applaud the new edition of this definitive text on transformational coaching. The authors and the visionary network they lead provide an effective methodology to work with change at personal and organizational levels. This is a must-read for professionals who value the process of discovery, awareness, and choice that empowers people to find their own inner wisdom and to act in service to make a better world for all.” —Lynne Twist, Author, The Soul of Money, Founder, Soul of Money Institute, and Co-Founder, The Pachamama Alliance “When designing our ICF ACTP coach certification program, we never considered any textbook other than Co-Active Coaching. This is the best, most comprehensive book for teaching the relevant skills of coaching. It should be required reading for all coach-specific training programs in any environment (profit, non-profit, executive, teams, etc.). With the enhancements made in the third edition, we look forward to incorporating this edition into our required reading list.” —Donna Billings, PCC and Co-Founder, Professional Coach Certification Program, Duquesne University School of Leadership and Professional Advancement
“Co-Active Coaching insightfully reveals how to unlock a person’s potential and enlighten their past, present, and future. It’s a must-read for all self-empowered senior executives.” —Michael Cheah, Former President, Xian-Janssen Pharmaceutical, China (A Johnson & Johnson Group of Companies) “Transformational change — in ourselves or in the teams, organizations, and companies we lead — is ultimately all about relationships. The third edition of Co-Active Coaching, by the eloquent and compassionate founders of The Coaches Training Institute, will give you the tools, skills, strategies, and ethical frameworks to achieve the powerful goals of this work: changing lives and changing the world.” —Celeste Schenck, President, American University of Paris “Coaching basics are an essential skill set for any manager or leader who is interested in developing other people, so I use this material in most of the MBA courses I teach. Without fail, it engages the hearts and minds of people who care about acquiring meaningful and effective skills they can immediately put to use.” —Heidi Brooks, PhD, Director, Yale School of Management Mentoring Program, Lecturer, Yale Scho
