When I made the decision to become a Life Coach and invest in my career path, I was overwhelmed with how many books there were on the subject (and that’s not including all the personal development books out there)!
I spent a wee fortune on buying coaching related books that would support me in understanding my clients challenges, goals and mindset or would guide me to build an ethical and professional coaching practice.
Sitting on my bookshelves I have approximately 70 coaching books! Many I have read from cover to cover and over again. Some, I dip into for relevant information. One or two I struggle to follow and there are a few yet to be read.
Here is a list of my 'go-to' and 'love 'em' books that helped me grow personally and professionally and been the topic of many interesting conversations!
To help you on your coaching path I have linked them to Amazon.com for easy access.
