Praise for Executive Coaching with Backbone and Heart

"In this book, O'Neill brings form and structure to the art of executive coaching. Novices are provided a path while seasoned practitioners will find affirmation." (Daryl R. Conner, CEO and president, ODR-USA, Inc.)

"Mary Beth O'Neill's executive coaching gave me the tools and clarity to become a far more effective leader and change agent. The bottom line was that we succeeded with a monumental organizational turnaround that had seemed impossible to accomplish." (Eric Stevens, former CEO, Courage Center)

"O'Neill writes in a way that allows you to see this experienced coach in action. What a wonderful way to learn!" (Geoff Bellman, consultant and author, The Consultant's Calling)

"Mary Beth brings a keen business focus to coaching by not just contributing insights but through helping me and my team gain the insights that we need to solve our own problems. She has the ability to see through the sometimes chaotic dialogue and personalities in order to help a team focus on the real issues and dynamics that can impede organizations from achieving their goals." (John C. Nicol, general manager, MSN Media Network)

Great book fabulous message

Tangible instructions to grow advanced coaching skills!

Enough context, how to, and why to satisfy the discerning intermediate coach.

A lot to learn. Very helpful pdf

I will need to revisit as the content was heavy. Good examples to learn from

Full of Useful Tools

I found this book to be full of useful and applicable tools and skills. Those tools and skills were then illustrated by stories that made them (the tools & skills) come alive.

I appreciated the chapter summaries. I went so gar as to copy and paste each one into a document so I could have them in one place.

I strongly recommend this book.
