Coaching Resources
Perhaps the biggest headache that many
professionals face is information overload. Trying to separate the
wheat from the chaff is a time consuming business in itself. In order
to improve your experience of this website I've segmented the resources
page by profession. Hopefully this makes it slightly easier for you to
find the information that is most relevant.
I've personally read all of the books and e-books listed on this page.
Furthermore, I'm a regular user of the web site mentioned and an active
member of the communities of interest. In every case I believe they
offer valuable insight, advice and connections which will help you to
grow personally and professionally.

Business Owners
If you're a small business owner then
the chances are you already understand that success depends very much
on whether propsective clients buy into you as a person.
The good news is that Internet technologies now make it easier and more
cost effective to build personalised relationships with prospective
clients. Furthermore, it enables the small business owner to compete on
more of a level footing with much larger businesses. Speed of execution
is now a much bigger competitive advantage than scale.
