Great resource! November 2, 2008
Tim Keck (NW Arkansas USA)
For a coach or anyone who wants to help others (or themselves) get to the truth, this is a must have.
One of the least remembered skills in modern society is the art of asking good questions. We are often so busy telling people what we think, we never enter into meaningful dialogue. Therefore, true understanding constantly eludes us. This text can help you fix that.
Packed full of easy to remember question sets, categorized by circumstance, "Coaching Questions" can quickly assist you in taking it to the next level.
Buy this book.

What a resourceful, coaching guide! This was the best value for money. It far exceeded my expectations. The layout of the book was very simple yet extremely effective. Helps you get clear on process, models, and opens you up to hundreds of empowering questions with which to support your coaching clients. A must have for any coach, a treasure for your coaching resources. Fantastic job Tony Stoltzfus.
A Must Have Resource! September 17, 2008

If you are a coach, you must get this book! Tony continues to show us why he's a top coach. This is a book that you will reach for again and again as you develop your asking skills as a coach. The book is laid out in a manner that makes getting to the right questions quick and easy. I love the fact that it is not a "read from cover to cover" type of book...it is truly a guide for those of us that find ourselves sometimes reaching for the right questions. Even the margins of the book are set up to help you! The margins have quotes, client/coaching excercises, hints/tips and even tells you what page to go in the book for more!
If you are a coach, don't think about it...just buy it!

Coaching Questions August 3, 2008

This book is one of those rare finds that truly over-delivers, even to (maybe especially to) long-time, experienced coaches. I confess that I have often straddled the line between coaching and consulting, but this book has put me back in the domain I love: coaching. Not only is it filled with succinct, real-life coaching situations I could relate to, the author offers several simple but powerful models for shaping coaching conversations and good reminders for how to be sure you're on track from the client's perspective. I keep it on my desk and make sure I review a few pages everyday just to keep my questioning skills sharp.
