the best coaching book.......2007-06-29
This book is the best and most comprehensive coaching book I have on my shelfs.
Co-active coaching is what my profession is about and I've found so many answers to my questions about how-to and what-is-next .
Captures the wisdom of co-active coaching and it's a must read if you want to tap into the real power of coaching.
Your Gate way to Coaching profession.......2007-05-28
It's an amazing book that groups theories and practice for a profession that needs alot of practice. It's a necessity for all new professionals in the field.
Review.......2007-05-12
This is a very comprehensive program for coaching. It is laid out well and the DVD is very helpful for tools and samples.
The Gold Standard for Coaching.......2007-04-10
All coaches and leaders can learn from this common sense model how to interact and influence anyone you have contact with.
Co-Active Coaching - a User Friendly Resource for Everyone.......2007-03-31
The book offers a common sense model which is easy to remember and follow. While reading it, I suggest to highlight the many ideas that will give you the support to put the concepts into practice while you influence coworkers, family members and practically anyone you interface with.
The CD is a good idea but I found the examples a little artificial and not for my corporate use.

Soul Coaching Rocks!.......2007-05-18
This book is a gem. Denise Linn is one of the top international teachers in spiritual and self-development. This programme is an excellent culmination of Denise's extensive studies with many different cultures, and their spiritual practice and her professional training as a complementary health practitioner. Soul Coaching consists of a practical easy to follow 28 day programme, which gently takes you through life changing processes, to clean up all areas of your life, in order for your inner voice to be heard. It is both effective and fun. The amount of effort you put in is up to you.

If you feel you would like further support, visit the Soul Coaching website which has a directory of Soul Coaches worldwide.
How to declutter your life, your mind, your soul.......2007-05-13
I found some surprises for myself in these pages - initially I bought the book to assist some clients in their quest for living a life with intention. To my surprise, there were many areas of my life that I can change to also help me live with intention. It's an easy read with many steps to take in reaching a goal in life. It's part journal and part self-therapy. It supports the "process" of making changes deliberately and "soulfully". I recommend this to women, therapists, counselors, and anyone who is looking to make some changes in their life, their living situation, their life work. Judy
Holistic program.......2007-03-25
"Soul Coaching" is a holistic program that looks at integrated your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life into a synergistic whole. The program shows a sense of urgency in doing this inner work and it contains easy-to-follow steps to achieve personal change.
I also liked the spiritual depth shown in Nexus: A Neo Novel

Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet
This book is quintessential Denise Linn. I have taken numerous classes with Denise and know her to be an extraordinarily wise, authentic and caring human being. She has been a positive influence in my life and on my work as an author.I meantion this because you can trust that she really loves to help people--and that this book is the real thing.
Soul Coaching is a program designed to help you discover your authentic self. The book is divided into activities based on the Four Elements (of which we are comprised): Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
The book is filled with practical advice--for example, physical clutter must be removed to clear one's mind and to get to know the real you. There are inspiring daily affirmations that build self love.
Most importantly, this book teaches how to manifest the future of your dreams. This includes projecting yourself in the future and how that would feel. Call it the law of attraction or manifesting your life...it works!
Finding the Wise One Within.......2007-03-22
I have read many other books by this author. And I love them all!
The lessons learned in this particular book were unexpected and profound.
At first I thought that the exercises were too simple for anything big to really happen. But, I did them anyway. And as the days passed, I was amazed to gain eye-opening insights with what seemed like such a small amount of effort. The weight of old, emotional baggage fell away. Old patterns released. Mental confusion gave way to creative thought. And clutter was replaced with organization and an incredible sense of freedom.
Reading this book I started to look more deeply at my life's purpose, my dreams and my passion. But, the most exciting part of working with this book was discovering this quiet, still place within myself where I could actually hear and understand the messages from my own Soul. Messages that were clear and immediately shifted my perspective. Messages that were instantly useful in my every day life. This program took me on a true inner journey and I experience an incredible depth of wisdom and guidance. I am grateful to this author for opening the doorway to that sacred and wise part of myself!
If you want to be more creative, more expressive, more joyful, more spirit-filled... I highly recommend this book!

Step by Step with Examples.......2007-03-02
Excellent resource - very quick read; but I give it four stars instead of five for one reason:
There were many times that I felt the "meat" was missing from this; I don't believe you can utilize this by itself - you need to combine it with others like Duct Tape Marketing, Get Clients Now, etc. - to fill in the gaps.
That said, some of the examples like the bait piece, were superb.
J. Avellanet, Co-Founder of Cerulean Associates LLC
Great book..........2007-01-23
This is one of those books that you read in pieces, not as a whole.
Why? Because every time you read a bit of it you feel the urge to test it out, see if it is going to work, and to think of how you can integrate that particular technique into your day-to-day activites and consulting practice.
From this book I have been able to significantly increase the number of invites I get for speaking as well as to increase the amount of work I generate passively. (Without direct contact)
Paid for itself within a month and continues to pay for itself today! (it is never too far away from me)
If you are a working consultant, either with your own practice or with a company, then this book will provide you with a powerful resource for increasing your recognition factor among your peers and potential clients.
Finally, Somebody Said It.......2006-11-03
You have to write to establish yourself as an expert. You may know more than anyone else on a subject, but until it's in print, few people get a chance to know that. Once it's in print you've got a great marketing tool, whether it's a blog on your personal website sent to an opt-in audience or a tome published by Random House. (He doesn't talk about blogs, but he does talk about email newsletters, and blogs are the latest incarnation of that sort of thing.)
This is a very useful book- I'm on my second read-through.

"This empowering book will teach, inspire, and coach you to break the habits of insecurity that prevent you from realizing your spontaneous inner potential for genuine happiness."
-John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
"There is nothing more empowering than accepting responsibility. Taking responsibility is not about assuming fault; it is about re-taking the helm and control of your journey in life. This book will help you navigate through the difficulties of personality and behavioral change to more emotional peace."
-Dr. Laura Schlessinger, author of The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands
Nobody is born insecure, angry, bored, or depressed. The fact is, happiness is our natural state and, as psychologist Dr. Joseph J. Luciani explains in this warm, witty, and empowering guide, chronic unhappiness is just a bad habit-a habit that can be broken.
It's much easier than you think! Based on Dr. Luciani's twenty-five years of experience helping patients unlearn reflexive, destructive thinking, The Power of Self-Coaching arms you with all the tools you need to free yourself from your mental and emotional traps. As you work through the many self-quizzes, training and coaching exercises, and Power Drills, you'll see yourself anew and feel yourself growing lighter, more spontaneous, and ready to take charge of your life.
A proven five-step program for reconnecting with the innate capacity for happiness, The Power of Self-Coaching gives you what you need to:
- Identify learned patterns of thought and feelings that are making you unhappy
- Use Dr. Luciani's celebrated Self-Talk techniques to develop new, healthy ways of thinking and feeling
- Eliminate boredom, hopelessness, chronic fatigue, and emotional numbness from your life
- Tap your full creative, intellectual, and emotional potential and live the rich, rewarding life you want and deserve

looking in a mirror.......2007-06-14
I didn't like the book at first. But that is characteristic of anyone seeing something in themselves that needs to be changed. After going through the book 3 times and using it as a practical guide I am remembering how to like myself again. My "what if's" don't have to rule my life.
Best Self-Help Book Ever.......2007-05-12
This will probably be the only self-help book you ever need if you follow the Self-coaching techniques the author recommends. Logical, practical advice without fluff aids in identification, understanding, and most importantly, fixing of many problems that may have previously seemed beyond your ability to resolve.
Self-Coaching To The Rescue.......2007-04-08
This is an original and powerful book by the guru of self-coaching, Dr. Joseph Luciani.If you are looking for a detailed step by step approach to feel as mentally healthy as possible, this is the book for you. It will not only markedly reduce your anxiety and depression, it will teach you the principles of carving out a life that is joyful and meaningful for you.
Easy to read and digest with many helpful examples from his own life as well as his patient's lives. Highly recommended.
Read This Book!.......2007-03-20
I'm pushing sixty. I've been in and out of therapy and have been reading self-help books all my life. I ordered this (the CD version) with little hope. Not much seems new anymore.
Surprise! I was almost immediately engrossed. Luciani is wonderful. Using plain talk and simple analogies, he sums up what all the niche-marketers and long-winded "experts" are currently trying to sell us as "new." There's nothing new here. But Luciani's approach is refreshing, smart, and absolutely sane.
If you want to make a change (or changes) in your life, "The Power Of Self Coaching" will absolutely make a difference in your approach and give you information and activities that will not only show you how to change, but will inspire you to change.
How can anyone not love an author who wants his epitaph to read "I'd Rather Be Reading This"?
excellent book.......2007-03-12

Great for the thinking Coach.......2002-02-22
I got this book just as I was about to coach a new teeball team and found its insight very helpful. Not a book about what drills to use but about motivation, handling people and protecting peoples love of the sport. More cerebral than I would expect in a coaching book. I used much of the material in my business career. Now I am starting his next book, "Shooting in the Dark".
Turn your coaching career around like this book turned mine........1999-07-11
I coach volleyball in grade school and junior high school, and I usually get the "B teams" (the leftovers who are not as talented as the girls on the "A" team.) Therefore, if there ever was a crying need for a book on how to coach these types of athletes, this book more than served its purpose for me. Actually, this book had a positive effect on me since it saved my coaching career.
Don't get me wrong, though, this book will turn around any coach's career whether he has an A or a B team. I coached a group of 13 and 14 year old softball players the year that I purchased this book. At the beginning of the season, the only team these girls could beat was themselves; in fact, that was primarily the reason they were losing was the fact that they were beating themselves! Well, after one mediocre game, I sat the girls down on the bench and instead of reading them the riot act, I took to heart a suggestion by the author. I emphasized all the positive aspects of the game they played just to show these girls that they were capable of doing some positive things. I did this after each game from then on, win or lose. Wouldn't you know it, these same rag tag girls lost the last the last game of the season: the city championship game by one run (to a team that annihilated them by 12 runs in the first game of that season.) This was an example of positive coaching, and I've used everything in this book to my advantage to become a successful POSITIVE coach. Thanks Mr. Thompson for turning my career around!
HS Coach Reviewer - Please Stay in MI and Out of VA.......1999-06-30
I don't doubt for a minute that you completely missed the theme and messages of this book - you expose your true colors and attitudes towards kids with your "cross-eyed, overweight child" and "fat, blind kid" pejoratives. "Players must understand their skill level limits them" - I can hear you now getting that message (loudly, clearly and strongly, no doubt to toughen them up for the "real world" - yeah, right) across to young adults on a daily basis. What magic you must weave in the lives of these young people. If the generalizations fit, go ahead and wear them - clearly you have no use for any child that isn't contributing to that bottom line (for you) - WIN. Rest easy that your opinion is the dominant one in the youth coaching ranks, however - and thus the need for this book.
An important guide for influencing kids in sports........1999-04-23
The reader from Trenton, Michigan missed the point of this book. Readers of that review should carefully consider the source and its use of hateful ideas and language. This is an excellent book for amateur coaches of kids. It teaches how to interact with kids and how to motivate them to do their best without resorting to screaming and put-downs. If you are a coach or parent, this will be both fun to read and useful to learn from.
A must-read in the politcally-correct era of youth sports.......1999-04-10
As a high school coach for over ten years, I have always looked for new and unique ways to motivate my players. I hoped that this book would generate fresh, creative alternatives. Instead, I was served a 400-page liberal athletic manifesto. Don't get me wrong; I believe in utilizing positive motivational strategies and teaching techniques with my players. If like me, you believe that winning is actually an important aspect of athletic competition, you will find yourself at odds with the author from the introduction. Perhaps in the youth leagues, rules demanding equal playing time that foster an "everyone is a star" attitude are effective. At the higher levels, these ideas become highly ineffectual (too many chiefs and not enough indians). Eventually, players must understand that their skill level (or lack thereof) limits them to a lesser role as a reserve or practice player. While the author offers sound ideas for communicating with players, the techniques are just another by-product of sixties liberalism run amuck. I agree with the author that many children have enjoyed a less-than-successful athletic career based on poor coaching; and I'm sure I could have been a surgeon if only my Cub Scout den mother was better with her pocketknife. The truth of the matter is that most kids don't become good or great athletes because they aren't willing to put in the time and effort necessary to do so (while approaching every aspect of life in pretty much the same fashion). In my experience, most of the problems in youth athletics are caused by adults! The kids know who to pick; it's the adult looking to create "fairness" for the cross-eyed, overweight child who can't tie shoes without sustaining a career-ending injury that creates the problem - first by demanding equal opportunity, second by placing the child in a situation where there is little chance for success. When the fat, blind kid struggles and feels like a failure, this is the coaches' fault? It is if you believe in Jim Thompson's doctrine. I'll admit there are some good ideas for dealing with players on an interpersonal level. P.S. Don't let the Foreward by Phil Jackson fool you! (How many titles did his positive coaching win without Michael Jordan?)

Helps w/ the issues (and much more).......2007-06-28
It's been about 3-4 years since I read this book. I was in a dark period after a family tragedy. I'm a very well adjusted and happy adult and this book is a big part of it.
Revolutionary? No. It's just a simple way to re-engineer self-image. What Dr. Joe advocates is 1. disrupt the negative self-talk (all depression patients know about the neg. self talk). 2. replace the negative "ST" with positive "ST." 3. practice this habit over and over until it becomes routine (perhaps the most challenging part). 4. After doing this exercise for about 6-12 months, suddenly you discover that this activity becomes habit, and you then pleasantly discover that your self image is constantly positive and you feel much-much better.
Then, you start to apply this technique to other parts of your life, and, if you're like me, you realize that all that stuff the dali lama preaches is real: you really do have control over your life!
This book requires steady work-hard work which, if practiced, becomes easy with time. Hang in there folks! Stick to the plan and you will find your way out of the dark hole!
Who else do I recommend? Check out Tal Ben-Shahar's books. He's another positive psychologist. Good stuff.
LOGICAL and Basic! Very helpful!.......2007-05-04
This book is for anyone tired of feeling like a victim of their own thoughts. After reading this book I was able to immediately incorporate his techniques successfully. For example, I had a class that always makes gives me anxiety so when I was in class and feeling awful, I looked at the clock and said to myself, "2 more hours. I can handle anything for 2 hours." After that I was fine! It's not just about telling yourself positive things that may be untrue or simply unhelpful, it's about separating fact from fiction. It was true I hated the class, but it was also true that I could handle it for 2 hours. Once you separate fact from fiction you begin to see how your self doubt doesn't need to have the upper hand. You can choose to stop feeling insecure and start LIVING. Negative thoughts stop us from action and freedom from these thought allows us to LIVE. I also recommend the book Dancing with Fear by Foxman, very good and very helpful, but if you want something more pragmatic - buy Luciani's book.

Instant gratification junkies seeking self-awareness are bound to find the title of Ariel and Shya Kane's book extremely attractive. And seductive it is: who wouldn't like to discover enlightenment in a moment? The key, explain the Kanes, is getting to the moment: being fully present in the here and now without trying to manipulate or change what you see. According to the Kanes, "all problems are a projection towards the future of possible realities based on the past." Consequently, inhibitors to living life directly include the inability to let go of one's history--to forgive people and events from the past--as well as resistance to the circumstances of one's life, and repetitive, mechanical thoughts and behaviors. The essence of transformation is "a non-judgmental witnessing, viewing, or seeing of yourself and how you interact with your life," which stands in direct opposition to therapy's approach of working on one's history to bring about change. Here, awareness of a prejudice or pattern of behavior is--simply and immediately--enough to transform it.
Principles of awareness, self-realization, and enlightenment, of course, are nothing new, and the Kanes are careful to point this out. Some readers may wonder, then, why the Kanes refer to themselves as pioneers of a "revolutionary new technology," and whether Instantaneous Transformation(R) really requires a trademark. Nevertheless, Working on Yourself Doesn't Work is warm, anecdotal, and conversationally written, and includes general suggestions and pointers for the reader rather than rules to memorize. All in all, it is a gentle and potentially powerful invitation to enter a new and liberating state of mind. --Svenja Soldovieri
Book Description
Working On Yourself Doesn't Work reveals a revolutionary new approach that will allow you to reach a state of awareness and "centeredness" that in the past was rarely, if ever, achieved. This book contains the keys to transform your life. It is a radical departure from the concept of working on yourself to bring about change. There are no gimmicks to learn, no rules to live by, or preset paths to follow. The Kanes' Instantaneous Transformation technology is about a change of states, a shifting of realities -- which will produce a quantum shift in your life. By reading this book, you will discover-- How to remain centered in stressful or challenging circumstances, A more honest, true and natural way of being that will allow you to be increasingly effective and satisfied in all aspects of your life, How to have relationships that are more loving, exciting and supportive, How to dissolve mechanical habits that rob you of spontaneity, joy and creativity.
"The clarity and focus I have attained by being exposed to the Kanes and their way of seeing makes the difference between life and death when leading my men down a smoke-filled hallway, searching for people trapped by fire. I feel extremely fortunate to have met them."
Lieutenant Mike Donlon
New York City Fire Department."
"What the Kanes have to offer is so very simple and yet so very profound. In the garden of all the flowers for personal transformation, and I have sampled many, this is the Rose. With great love and respect, the Kanes offer keys to awareness like no one else I have ever met. Their work is truly remarkable." Johnnie M. Jackson, Jr.Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary

Life really can be this simple. WOW!!!!!! YEN Florida.......2007-03-27
I am a professional female that has felt out of place since I was 13. I have seen therapists and searched for something to fix myself my whole life. I have read many self help books and done The Landmark Forum. In 1998 I landed in an AA room and was taught the 12 Steps of recovery. I read the BIG BOOK and thought the stories were exaggerated since I couldn't relate to them. I stopped drinking and took the suggested steps; taking a "fearless moral inventory" of myself by identifying my so called defects of character. As I grew in recovery, I was to take a daily inventory of myself which constantly reinforced that there was always something wrong with me that needed fixing. I now have 7 years of uninterrupted sobriety and recently I had the pleasure of reading the book "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work" and WOW!!! Did I get it...
See in AA we strive to live a day at a time but to be able to live a moment at a time was not something I had ever considered (I mean who can live in the moment there is so much to plan for?). It wasn't by doing the 12 steps that I learned I was living my life based on exaggerated truths made up as a child. These ideas ranged from "don't let anyone ever tell you what to do "to" don't ever depend on any man". These ideas never supported me in my life. They in fact have hindered every relationship I ever had whereby I never married or had children.
Now that I am aware of those ideas thru reading this book, I have never looked back or thought about them again. I have quit trying to work on myself. I have accepted my life and everything about it.
My life is so easy today. I have actually been able to save a relationship that I unconsciously have been sabotaging for the last 3 years. I saw clearly why I was afraid of success. Since I now have the insights, I choose not to go back to the past and judge myself or others for anything that happened. I also choose not to spend time in a place that doesn't exist yet. I can just concentrate on the fabulous moment and how it feels to be here right now. Talk about freedom from the bondage of self. My shackles have been taken off permanently. Thank you to Ariel and Shya for sharing their incredible experiences with the world and most importantly for the ease in which they do it.
disappointing.......2007-03-12
I orded this too quickly and should have looked closer at the inside, and the reviews. Its just another of many "God is who you want him to be, find your own way..nirvana, happy place yada yada written to sell, not to help books..I have to say that if God is who you want him to be?? then how could HE be God? Must be YOU thats God..anyway the book was disgustingly typical.
Classic guide book to living in the moment.......2007-03-09
There have been many insightful and helpful books written over time on the subject of living in the moment and only one that stands out for me as the best...and this book is it. It's the best in my opinion because the tools and ideas presented truly work in creating a life where lasting satisfaction and fulfillment can happen. It is definitely possible to live in the moment, day in day out, where the bumps on your life's road do not need to throw you off your path. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in living a life they dream of...it's possible for you because it's happened and continues to happen for me in my own life.
The Best Book I Know.......2006-11-15
The title of this book may seem enigmatic, but it is the foundation of having a wonderful life. The reader may wonder, If I don't work on myself, won't I become complacent? Not at all! The reason that working on yourself doesn't work, the Kanes explain, is that it presupposes that there is something wrong with you. But, as their second principle states, you can only be exactly as you are in any given moment. As long as you imagine you are messed up and in need of repair you resist the way that your life is showing up. This leads to the first principle: anything that you resist persists and grows stronger. If you want to see a behavior stick around, resistance - the adding of oppositional energy - will do the trick.
Although working on yourself doesn't work, there is much you can discover about your mechanical ways of operating that can improve the quality of your life. Through awareness - defined by the Kanes as the non-judgmental seeing of anything - your experience of living can shift without your having to do anything else. This is encompassed by the Kanes' third principle: anything you see exactly as it is will complete itself.
Does it sound all too simple? It is, and it works. This is why I recommend this book, more than any other, to the people in my life. After years of searching for well being - attending workshops, reading numerous books, and even staying on a farm to find a better way of living - Working on Yourself Doesn't Work is the only thing that I have found that does work. Read again and again, the book makes life easy, magical, and effortless.
Internal Light!.......2006-10-29
"Working on yourself doesn't work"- I have read this book over and over again for nearly two years. The interesting title initially got my attention, but ten minutes into reading it, I knew I had found a treasure!
There are many books out there that lift your spirits, but not often have I found something written with such clarity and wisdom. Beauty and simplicity shine through the core concept - Transformation. In reading this book I came to realize nothing produces happiness like the deep satisfication which comes from within: If I am true to myself, and not judging what I see, I can simply be me and be there for others. Powerful!I highly recommend anyone who is interesed in having a great life to read this book!

Book Description
Praise for Blind Spots
"Shelton's open and candid style inspires trust among readers. Management teams and those making career choices can push their effectiveness up a notch with her skilled approach to facing blind spots and moving beyond them."
—Rick McNutt, Executive Vice President, National City Bank
"Blind Spots gives individuals a comprehensive, but very manageable, set of tools and strategies to see themselves differently. The stories of people whose lives have been changed by Shelton's principles and techniques enhance the strategies she presents. This is a compelling book with the power to improve lives dramatically."
—Eleta A. Jones, PhD, LPC, Assistant Director, Center for Professional Development, University of Hartford
"Shelton's approach to identifying blind spots goes to the heart of effective leadership. Such interest arose from this work that requests poured in for not only follow-on training regarding Blind Spots, but also for developmental coaching. Six months later, people are still talking about Blind Spots."
—Jack Bergquist, Vice President, Kaman Aerospace
"When I recognized my blind spots that made me underestimate my entrepreneurial strengths, I was able to move forward to launch a successful company. This book is a must for building resilience to face the challenges of a start-up."
—Marilyn Nemarich, entrepreneur and owner, Marilyn's Pies
"This book can teach you how to see inside yourself. As I was reading it, I kept thinking of the song On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Learning about your blind spots leads to clear sight, which can create possibilities for innovation and growth."
—Jane Hunt, Assistant Vice President for Executive Development, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.

The Ophthalmology of Increased Self-Awareness.......2007-05-01
As Claudia Shelton explains in the Preface, the material in her book is organized around "three simple focuses": guidance to the development of the perspective and mindset necessary to "see things about yourself that you previously couldn't see" (i.e. blind spots), strategies to help convert these blind spots into strengths on which to build success, and provision of a set of tools "to help identify personal information about one's specific blind spots." I appreciate Shelton's skillful use of several reader-friendly devices such as the statement of a key concept for each of the chapters which comprise one of the six Sections. For example, for Section Four, these are "The Strategies for Clear Sight":
Chapter 11: Identify what you do best in a "Statement of Strengths"
Chapter 12: Check counter-productive habits using an "Old Habits Blind Spots Grid"
Chapter 13: Convert stress into a positive source of energy
Chapter 14: "Tune your radar" to recognize non-verbal "clues" sent to others
Chapter 15: "Connect" more effectively with others to strengthen relationships
As these strategies correctly indicate, Shelton offers no head-snapping revelations (nor does she claims to offer any); in these and other chapters, she identifies the "what" and then devotes most of her attention to the "why" and "how." For that reason, she thoughtfully extensive material that can guide and inform a series of self-audits to help each reader determine the nature and extent of the gap between her or his current level or recognition and what is desired. In Chapter 15, for example, Shelton identifies and briefly discusses five of the most common causes of disconnection that include disengagement. That is, "not speaking clearly, not listening to what others have to say, [and] not providing useful feedback," any/all of which can prevent a convincing presentation of ideas. To paraphrase The Golden Rule, "Others will do unto you the way you tend to do unto them."
Many readers will be especially grateful for the Appendix that Shelton provides. In it, she offers brief descriptions of all recommended "tools"(with a handy page reference for each), a brief review of the five most common blind spots, and summary descriptions of nine models that comprise the "Blind Spots Profile." The ultimate objective is to develop the strengths while reducing (if not eliminating) the weaknesses of each, such as what Shelton rather clumsily characterizes as the "Optimistic Image-Oriented Producer" who tends to rend feelings first, is extroverted, is a high-energy multi-tasker who produces many projects valued by others but who can sometimes be disorganized and indecisive and, when under pressure, become distant (i.e. "disengaged") and thereby alienate others.
Make no mistake about it: What Shelton recommends in her book requires a full commitment of time, energy, and attention over an extended period of time, although those who carefully absorb and digest the material and then begin to identify their blind spots will immediately increase their understanding of themselves and probably of others, also. It is important to keep in mind that some blind spots are easier to recognize than others. Also, that certain revelations about one's self (i.e. one's inadequacies and their consequences, to date) will probably not be pleasant but are nonetheless especially important. Be grateful for having eliminated, finally, what have probably been the worst blind spots.
Those who share my high regard for this book are urged to check out Lynda Gratton Hot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy - And Others Don't, Michael Useem `s The Go Point: When It's Time to Decide--Knowing What to Do and When to Do It by, Howard Gardner `s Five Minds for the Future, and Tom Rath's StrengthsFinder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup's Now, Discover Your Strengths.
Blindspots is a great read and a must have!.......2007-04-20
Claudia Shelton invites us all to learn more about ourselves, and, specifically about our Blindspots - - She has a welcome depth of insight into what keeps us from reaching our dreams and our goals - and, strategies to face and manage these obstacles and challenges squarely, in order to live the life we want to live. The good news is that Blindspots is as applicable to personal life issues as it is to leadership, because it gets to the source of seeing the truth about yourself. Blindspots is a great read and a must have!

Best Guide for Career Success.......2007-03-26
Are you looking for the one book to help you manage your career? This is it. Well-researched, easy to read, immediately useful to self-diagnose obstacles to career success, BlindSpots should be required reading for anyone leading or aspiring to lead an organization. Claudia Shelton uses her expertise as an executive coach to quickly help the reader identify personal strengths that can hamper success. Using a five-part framework and individual stories of successful people going awry, she then works through five principles of clear sight - ways to turn those blind spots into strengths. Insightfully written, with on-line tools available [...]
We Can Achieve Our Goals.......2007-03-19
Although Claudia Shelton's new book, Blind Spots, was inspired by her work as an Executive Coach in many Fortune 500 companies, all those who are interested in both personal and professional success should make this a must read. The book's premise is that through overuse and old patters of behavior our strengths become our weaknesses. When we realize these Blind Spots, define and understand them, we can become objective about who we need to be to make our innate talents work for us at all times. Shelton clearly defines the nine Blind Spots Profiles, how each profile can have Clear Sight in an easy to understand manner. The other remarkable dividend is once an individual understands how to turn personal weaknesses into strengths, he/she can apply the Blind Spots methodology to others, whether a boss, co-worker, or significant other to gain Clear Sight about who they are and how they communicate; this objective assessment will lead to signifcant, honest communication which will allow all to realize their full potential.
A Powerful and Very Readable Book.......2007-03-06
What a rich and potentially life changing book. As a Business and Personal Coach, I will use both the book and Blind Spots Finder regularly with clients. This book is filled with information and insights that will benefit professionals as well as individuals on their own path to greater success and fulfillment.
Just as we recognize that there are blind spots or things we can't see in our car mirrors, Claudia Shelton provides a way to see personal blind spots without judgement. Blind spots are opportunities for discovery and new possibilities.

Mental Health traning plus.......2005-10-04
If you're a mental health professional, chances are you have adequate training in psychology to be an executive coach, but how about training and experience in OD and in business? these are necessry to be credible and effective in executive coaching. See a complete competency model on the website (...) NEW page.
Therapist becoming coach?Ethics section makes this a must..........2002-04-04
To psychotherapists who are entering the coaching field: You must get this book. It is packed full of ethical issues you need to understand and will also get you started right away with necessary skills.
The subtitle of this treatise "The Complete Guide for Mental Health Professionals" is no misnomer. This book is complete. It takes you through the transition from your mental health background to the closely related field of coaching. It does this smoothly, through three well-written sections, ending in a crescendo to the very helpful Appendix.
The first section clearly lays out the differences between the fields (in approach and language), moves you through a very effective and comprehensive model of coaching (including a perfect New Client Questionnaire), to the ethical issues that you must know to make the transition a safe one. The ethics section and Dr. Auerbach's research with attorneys is worth twice the admission fee. For example, all sources researched agree that you need to keep your two businesses separate - no dual Web site advertising. You won't need to worry about losing your license after reading this section.
The second section covers techniques, processes, and the use of assessments, which will be familiar to most therapists; however, Dr. Auerbach does an excellent job of pointing out the subtle differences that are key to making you act and sound like a coach instead of a therapist.
The third section covers the major varieties of coaching, and can even help you assess which area you are best fit to work in or which you will be most passionate about.
The Appendix is very helpful, and includes samples of forms to use; including the above-mentioned New Client Questionnaire, a Coaching Agreement, and other helpful questions and questionnaires to help you get clients and to start those first few sessions.
I highly recommend this book to any mental health professional moving into this exciting field.
Personal and Executive Coaching.......2001-11-27
Executive Coaching is hot. A number of people from various professional backgrounds provide personal and business coaching for managers and leaders. Dr. Auerbach has written a wonderfully comprehensive manual for mental health professionals who bring a unique background to this exciting discipline.
In a clear, concise and thoughtful fashion, Dr. Auerbach clarifies the essential differences between coaching and psychotherapy. Underlying, his philosophy of coaching is a focus on the client's values. He delineates a model of coaching that provides an excellent guide for the coaching process.
Dr. Auerbach discusses the legal and ethical issues involved in coaching that is extremely helpful to both beginning and seasoned coaches. He thoroughly explains how coaching is conducted on the telephone-a process likely to be unfamiliar to many therapists.
The book is "jam-packed" with specific practical techniques, how to incorporate assessment instruments, and illuminating coaching examples. The resource section includes invaluable samples of letters of agreement to use with coaching clients and powerful coaching questions.
Therapists desiring to enter the exciting world of coaching and seasoned coaching professionals, will find Dr. Auerbach's wise counsel a roadmap for their success.
