Praise for A Coach's Guide to Emotional Intelligence

"Coaches, people who are being coached, and people who would like to receive the benefits of coaching, can all benefit greatly from this guide. Each of the contributors draws from a wide range of unique experience that helps the reader explore the many aspects of the powerful interface between emotional intelligence and coaching."
-Alexis Phillips, Chief Technology Officer, Team Coaching International

"This book is a rich harvesting of the wisdom teachers, each of whom has discovered a core truth: we can't be fully human, offer our contributions, or live meaningful lives if we disregard or neglect our emotions. As the craziness of this time engulfs us, this truth provides a lifeline to a saner, happier life for us all."
-Margaret J. Wheatley, author, Finding Our Way: Leadership for an Uncertain Time

"A Coach's Guide to Emotional Intelligence sets the stage for new and experienced executive coaches to apply emotional intelligence in their work. This book nicely lays out the case for coaching, why emotional intelligence is essential for success, a structure for the coaching experience, some 'how to's,' and useful case examples. Any level of coach should benefit from this book."
-Steven J. Stein, Ph.D. co-author of The EQ Edge and author, Make Your Workplace Great

-Susana Isaacson, retired director of leadership development and organizational learning, Central Intelligence Agency
