Dean Amory's Coaching Guide is an invaluable and practical standard reference work and training manual for anybody who takes life coaching seriously, be it as a means to enhance their own life through self-coaching, or as a professional life coach. The five books - "Definitions and Models of Coaching," "Coaching Techniques," "Essential Knowledge for Coaches," "When Every Word Matters" and "Empowering Coaching and Crisis Interventions" - together form a comprehensive, highly accessible and easily navigable training program and workbook that is very transferable to the every day practice and by far the most practical coaching source available today.
