Very helpful for me as an executive coach.
Good servide.
Very Systems Approach and will be of great benefit for the Traditional Executive.
A great book for the seasoned expert or the novice coach. Clear and consise and an open hearted approach.
I like Mary Beth's approach. Her examples are great and her organization and philosophies great.
Lots of best practice and insight to help any coach take her game to the next level. I am a sales coach finding engaged more and more on the senior management level and this book has helped further hone my skills.
I have just started reading this book and find it most interesting and helpful. I am a certified Onthologycal Coach in search for tools, information, techniques and experience in order to practice and work on in Executive-Organizational coaching.
I liked and find very usefull the relationship established between coaching and the hard part of the business. The book is very well structured.
This text is both practical and systemic in its approach. It has sound foundations and theory underpinning it.
This book gave the most practical applicable advice I have read in years. Not filled with jargon, it was a good reminder of many practices and principles I have used and applied over the years.
I found several concepts very helpful, especially the Three Key Factors model for executive coaching and the description of the Client Responsibility Model. Mary Beth O'Neill also shares, with examples, how to help a client identify habitual behavioral patterns that might not be effective and a methodology to recognize those patterns and create new, more effective ones.
Systematically written with lots of practical tips for coaching. The examples illustrate the ideas and approaches very well.

This book was highly recommended in coaching training that I received this summer. I can see why.
