Product reviews for The Business Coaching Handbook

Curly's 'The Business Coaching Handbook' is neither a handbook, a manual, a workbook or a reference book. It is a bit of all of them. This is not meant as a negative but an idea as to how versatile it is.

Each chapter, and there are eighteen if you include the Introduction, stands on its own. Allowing you to pull out what you want from it without feeling obliged to read all those that preceded it.

In making it a self-help book, Curly has included in each chapter a collection of selfhelp, probing, questions that either check your understanding of what you have been reading or invites you think through how the lessons relate to your own business. Additionally each chapter concludes with a Diagnostic Action Box and supporting Action Boxes.

The Diagnostic Action Box is a 'to-do' or check list helping readers apply the concepts/ideas/lessons to their business. This is supported by the Action Boxes that invite readers to write down what "Action I will Take" and when it will be completed.

Each chapter is introduced with an overview and a case study, making it easy for the reader to confirm the relevance of the chapter before investing time in reading it. Brilliant!

In conclusion a very practical self help book that is unpretentious, reader friendly and easy to navigate your way through. Relevant to all small businesses and refreshingly, if I can borrow a well known advertising slogan: 'It does what it says on the tin' or in this case the front cover'
