EXTRAORDINARY and practical. I've gone through the book, The Coaching Habit several times now. I've tuned into the videos at the Box of Crayons website. The practical tools and lessons are great learnings and reminders for professional coaches. But beyond that, they are nuggets of gold for busy leaders who want to grow people and create dynamic teams. Thanks Michael, for adding such practical value to those who want to truly impact individual lives and make a difference!

Marv has done it again. He has managed to write about management and organisation development in a way that reads like an interesting novel.  I am so amazed how the stories of management and organisations can be so compelling, and can contain both the theory/principle and practical tips. Kurt Lewin's "There is nothing so practical as a good theory" rings loud and clear throughout the book.
I have read the previous two editions of the book, and the first edition was an eye-opener and life-changer for me.  This 25th anniversary version is having the same impact on me, as the context and content of the book has grown and developed since 1987.
I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the field of OD.

"Changing Careers After 40"  is an essential read for anyone who has ever contemplated a life and career change or questioned their chances of seeking out a more fulfilling future.  The individuals who are featured in this book are not only interesting but have diverse personalities, academic and socio/economic backgrounds. Their biographies were written in a descriptive, personable manner and the methods and preparation for every career move were mapped out with practical, useful information and career advice.
  Whether we are seeking change, retiring, over or under "40", unhappy in  our present situations, or just interested in the way people change their lives, this engaging book is extremely relevant, educational, encouraging and fascinating!!!!

I have read SO many self-help, how to build your business, etc etc etc type books - this was by FAR one of the best and most helpful of them ALL!  It is written in such a practical and relate-able way that I cannot imagine anyone reading it and not walking away not only better off but also REALLY inspired to get out them and go after their dreams! Thank you Robert Hollis for always delivering REAL WORLD advice with REAL HEART!

"Tell Your Clients Where to Go" is an invaluable resource and read...highly relevant for those in the agency world, whether as an Account or Creative leader.

Todd Sebastian offers highly practical (and actionable) insights on developing excellent client leadership and proactive partnership....the kind that can so positively impact relationships and ultimately business.

As a client leader, Todd Sebastian's real-life examples not only resonated and inspired me, but will become mandatory read for anyone on my team.  I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to raise the bar in account leadership, and in exceeding their clients' expectations.

This book is an absolute must-have!
I would give this book 10 stars if I could. I am an avid reader of leadership literature, but I've never read a book that would penetrate my heart so deeply and on so many levels. I told my mom about this book and she asked me to read it to her immediately. She was just as moved as me.

Mr. Greene has a special gift in the way in which he can fully express his understanding of the power of a positive outlook and approach to life. No fancy jargon. No gimmicks. Easy to read without being dry and boring.  Given to the right person at the right time, this book can provide the foundation to self development: a changed and strong mindset and a positive attitude.

After reading this book not am I only motivated to be great in life, I have changed my mentality to know that I am destined for greatness! I highly suggest every person read this book and then more importantly, read it to your children.

I can't wait to read what Mr. Greene put out next!

This book is an absolute must read for anyone in a leadership position. Its not often that I find leadership books truly engaging, but I couldn't put this one down! Gregg and Jeff offer practical lessons for setting clear expecatations, clear roles and responsibilities and delivering direct consequences. Not as easy as it looks but a book that has immediate practical application and one that will be used as a reference for years to come. If you want accountability, here is the place to start.

This book was very, very easy to read and is certainly NOT only for Managers. Infact, anyone that has to interact with people at work will find that this is a MUST READ. However, the authors also included situations of a more personal nature to illustrate the universality of these awesome, practical principles! Infact, for those who give this a negative review...I recommend this book even more.

this book was amazing! Very practical, full of real-world, relatable advice. I am very appreciative of it. I am also thankful for the collaboration that happened between interweaving the pros' perspectives, experiences, hacks and lessons together. I ended up visiting most of their sites, buying their books and/or following them through social media so I can receive their updates. This book was easy to follow, easy to read front to back and had summaries at the end of each chapter with key takeaways. So ideal! Again, it was fantastic. If you are trying to get more done, or anything done, started, figured out, understood and expanded on, this is the book to help you find that clarity and inner wisdom.

This was an amazing book - a must read for anyone in the professional services industry.  It has been a year since I have read this book, and I have seen incredible results from practicing the concepts outlined in this book!!  I have especially found useful the concept of learning how to build rapport and really listening to the people you are engaging with.  I loved the concept of the E4 growth method - this is a great way to approach growth from multiple angles and provides strategies for actually taking action to pursue each of these methods to penetrate clients.  Another amazing topic was the coaching related to how to effectively reach out to leads and prospects via cold calling and also how to translate a cold lead into warm leads with informative marketing.  The book even provides suggested dialogue for effectively making these calls and gives strategies that provide you the confidence to actually pick up the phone and reach out to people!  Another powerful topic was how to effectively conduct initial meetings, including guidance on how to prepare and ask questions that will lead to great conversation.  Finally, the book encourages you to have grit and be persistent.  The author had one lead that took over 30 attempts to finally land a meeting!!!
The advice was relatable and practical.  The anecdotes were powerful and the sample marketing plans and scripts were also impactful.  This book has been a game-changer for my career!!

"Romancing Your Child's Heart" is simply one of the most practical and powerful books on life and parenting ever written!  You will find spirit filled adventure, romance and wisdom gleaned from the life of Monte and Carrie Swan.  Monte is willing to offer the insights that work in life,  and has the courage to reveal his mistakes along the challenging and sometimes confusing path of parenting.  Monte and Carrie's story is a wonderful, meaningful experience they are willing to share with the reader.  This is a must read for any parent (or person) with an interest in understanding the techniques of parenting...or just living!  This book could easily have been titled: "Romancing The Reader's Heart".

This book was so fun and easy to read, I couldn't put it down!  Denise gives tons of real life examples and practical solutions to identify and release negative or limiting beliefs and habits around Money.  I had tons of "aha" moments during the book, and have put into practice many of the exercises in my life, and have felt my money relationship shift already.  Its amazing how many hidden beliefs and perceptions add up to create our current relationship and "story" around money, and this Book has helped me to leap forward in recognizing and clearing limiting money beliefs, and make way for even more abundance in every part of my life. Thank you Denise for putting your genius out there in the world, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book!

This book is a game changer! For anyone who has a desire to make disciples, this is a must read. If you want to see a Disciple Making Movement (DMM) happen, or to simply understand the concepts and principles, this is the book you're looking for. I love how practical and applicable the book is, and it's essentially been a "training manual" in my journey to make disciples, who will in turn make disciples. I've already read it more than once and am giving copies to my friends.
Buy the book!!

Ive spent the last several weeks working my way through Michael Hyatts newest book. Let me tell you one thing right off: Your Best Year Ever is an absolute MUST read!

I cant tell you the last book I read that was this packed with smart and practical coaching about planning and doing the things you really want to do. Very readable, except for the nearly constant need to make a note in the margin as a reminder to do this!

Your Best Year Ever: A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals is what it claims to be. It is a very smartly designed 5 step plan.

I always like to do a quick flyover to get a sense for the whole road ahead. After finishing Your Best Year Ever, Im working my way back through, starting from the beginning and putting the steps into action.

On the other hand, if you're the kind of person that likes to do things one step at a time, you may want to take your time and do the steps as you go!

Every section concludes with an action plan and the plan is very practical (so practical that it begged to be worked on right then, instead of the flyover I intended!).

Your Best Year Ever concludes with goal templates (imported from Hyatts Full Focus Planner.) True Confession: It makes me wish I had ordered the planner!

While any of the exercises and action steps would be helpful as a standalone, I have no doubts that taken together, this is a very powerful concoction and upon completion will set me on a course for my best year ever.

If youve always wanted to take things to the next level, Your Best Year Ever is an absolute must read and I highly recommend it!
