Coach Yourself to Win

A master executive coach integrates his expert insight with the advice of some of the country's greatest executive coaches into powerful methods readers can use to coach themselves

About the Book Because getting a personal coach is not within reach of many, Coach Yourself to Win provides readers with the tools to coach themselves-and change the behavior that holds them back from what they truly want.

In this book, Howard Guttman provides the most effective coaching lessons from a wide range of the world's greatest coaches, including Marshall Goldsmith, sports coach Pat Summitt, spiritual/religious counselor Darren Turner of the U.S. Army in Iraq, self-help/personal growth guru Tony Robbins, and political coach James Carville. Readers get an easy-to-follow 7-step coaching plan that lays out a set of self-coaching actions that brings about lasting, positive change in their professional and personal life.
