Introduction to ‘The Compleat Coach’
Well here it is, an introduction to The Compleat Coach, I knew the book was complete the moment I finalised this introduction, the first thing you read being the last thing to be completed as you may expect. But I did not start writing from the back of the book.
The book will be best enjoyed if you read a bit and think a lot and write notes in a personal learning journal.
Caution! Everything in this book might be wrong! – If it is not right for you!
As people say, ‘You will only get out of it what you put into it.’
If your YOU is positive and optimistic then you will create positive enjoyment from this thought provoking book. If you are in the ‘That which is not’ frame of mind then the book will be some challenge by your own choosing.
It is a comprehensive study guide to Business, Life and Wellness Coaching. The book can be used to self coach and support people who wish to gain greater self belief and embrace peace, calm, harmony and happiness in their lives. The guide will create thoughts that will require time to think and contemplate as part of the journey. You may be encouraged to do further reading on some of the areas mentioned.
The book will support coaching, NLP, psychology, therapy students and professionals and contribute to their success and awareness in the future.
Some parts of the guide were written at the Izaak Walton Hotel, Dovedale near Ashbourne, Derbyshire. The same location chosen by Izaak Walton in the late 1600’s for ‘The Compleat Angler’. This location is also a very popular training venue for our Nirvana Coaching courses.
Kahlil Gibran, ‘Genuine Love for successful relationships’
But let there be spaces in your togetherness
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you
Love one another, but make not a bond of love;
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls
