Product Description

Martin uses a clear nontechnical style. Because the book is straightforward and readable I recommned it to anyone who wants to be his or her own business coach.

Fantastic follow-on from Curly Martin
The Business Coaching Handbook is a brilliant follow-on book from Master Coach Curly Martin. In the same direct & accessible style as the best selling 'Life Coaching Handbook', Curly leads the reader through the literal minefield of business processes like a beacon, so not only are we aware of where we are going but we also understand the most appropriate actions to make along the way. This book is priceless for the fresh business entrepreneur in the early stages of their business development, as well as being an invaluable resource of inspiration & ideas for more seasoned professionals.
The Business Coaching Handbook manages to be almost encyclopaedic in its scope, whilst remaining to be concise & relevant, with a host of cutting edge techniques, tools & action steps to guide us along our paths to success. The pages in this book are steeped with 20 years of solid business coaching experience from the author, making it an essential powerhouse guide for any entrepreneur wishing to excel on their business. I shall be recommending it unreservedly to all of my business colleagues as a must have read

Grant Willcox - 2Excel Coaching

A 'must have' for all small businesses
As a small business owner, I have found this book invaluable. When you start out on the road to building something new and exciting you can often become distracted or lose some momentum. Curly has written a great book based on her own practical experience of building a successful business and uses her superb coaching skills to help you navigate through a series of searching questions. Having a real coach in business is essential and if you don't already have one, The Business Coaching Handbook is the next best thing. This is a very worthwile book to add to your collection.

Silent Partner
This is a great book and has some really good examples in the form of metaphors, which help to explain the circumstances where the techniques or tools can be used.

Each chapter has a story at the beginning, which is followed by the chapter contents and a really useful action box at the end with a commitment type page for putting dates in to make sure you take the action.

There are action boxes in each chapter which, if you have been running a business for a couple of years like I have - you can just read the boxes and take action.

As time for me is a challenge I enjoyed the chapter on the time management and because of the easy to use and easy to read layout I found I could manage the time I needed to read the book easily. Some days, when I had time I could complete a whole chapter and other times when I was busy I just managed to check out the action box. Either way I am moving forward and that for me is the key to the success of the book.

Well done this is my silent partner.
