Customer Reviews

Contemplate, Prepare and then Do!
As an NLP Practitioner and Life Coach I have read a great many books on coaching and personal change and this is a book that really grabbed my attention... It is jam-packed with solid and sound advice, information and exercises that if practiced could genuinely help you make some real and significant change.

There is plenty of information on the processes and stages of change as well as a concise personal change programme at the end of the book that distills all of the previous chapters into a highly workable self-coaching model.

I highly recommend this book - 5 stars!

Not For Me
The title is catchy and it sounded as though it was the book I was looking for. But I found it a but 'dry' and not very motivating. I have read other books on this subject which have helped me a lot more in moving forward and achieving my goals.
