"Readers are leaders"
I'm delighted. We are of the same mindset. You want to be a coach and you'd like to see how others are doing it. Welcome to my site. Please check my about page for more info on my background. After that, I think it's a good idea to see the reading list of someone who's doing what you'd like to do. One quote that I remember vividly from Tony Robbins' book AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN is:
"Readers are leaders"
That's one of the reasons I think books are so important for our professional development. Anyway, here is my reading list to date:
