The Best Career Coach Book
My absolute best career coach book is this: “Essential Career Transitions Coaching Skills” by Caroline Talbott. It’s awesome. It’s tiny. It’s packed with a multitude of juicy interventions, all with a career bent to them. It’s a modest tome in size. Its author is also disarmingly modest. And, out of all the hundreds of self-help, psychotherapy, supervision and coaching books I have worked my way for through, this is the one that helped me to refine my own career path and to build my business. This is the book that reassured me that I did already know most of what I needed to know to practice as a career coach.
Why?
Because it is entirely pragmatic.
Why?
Because it is small and portable.
Why?
Because it seemed to have an answer for just about any career coaching question I had.
Why?
Because it was written by a woman who knew her stuff, who had used that information in a multitude of contexts.
Why?
Because this woman absolutely knows these interventions work because she has seen them do so over and over.
Don’t get me wrong, I can get as interested as anyone else in systems theory and philosophy when I have the time…
Career Coach Book
But, when I am working, I seek hands-on, pragmatic and no-nonsense answers. This career coach book is exactly where you’ll find them. Highly recommended!
