37 Ways to BOOST Your Coaching Practice

"A Gift to Coaches! Indispensable for anyone machete-ing through the kudzu of building a satisfying and prosperous coaching practice!"

~ joel drazner

"Steve Chandler has done it again! This book truly delivers. As an experienced coach I appreciated the authentic and powerful message of this book. Let's face it, each of us is the biggest obstacle to our own success. 37 Ways gets to the heart of the "stinking thinking" we all have and the lies we tell ourselves that keep us stuck in our comfort zone. If you read this book with an honest desire to change your thinking and are open to learning about yourself (i.e. warts and all) then this book will blow your mind because there is a profound message on virtually every page. Thank you Steve for your generosity in sharing what you discovered for yourself with the rest of us and for saying it in a way that is easy to absorb."

~ Lisa Giruzzi, Author of Bringing Out the Best in Your Employees

"I love this book! Very helpful insights, immediately applicable, delivered in short, concise, chapters.

As an intuitive coach and health and wellness mentor, I appreciate this elegant, heart-felt approach to enrolling clients and increasing prosperity for all. 2 Thumbs UP!"

~ Berrnadette Penotti

"Steve Chandler is one of my all-time favorite writers. I've read 10 of his books, and this one kept me up past midnight to finish in one sitting. He's simply the best because what he writes is so easy to understand....the "simplicity on the other side of complexity." He's a model for me as a coach and (far less prolific) writer. I LOVE STEVE CHANDLER AND THIS BOOK. Any professional, and especially any coach, will find several "ways" that work, and what I like best is that I both WANT to and CAN implement them right away. THANK YOU, Steve!"
