Acknowledgements

Anyone with a good knowledge of coaching will I hope have noticed a good many influences, so it is natural that I should properly acknowledge the great people to whom I owe such a debt for their original thinking and even more so the great impact that study of their works has had both on my coaching and even more so on my life.

So in no order of importance or alphabet here are four of the people who have definitely influenced my writing;

Stephen Covey

Timothy Gallwey

Anthony Robbins

Geoff Thomson

I must also acknowledge the many others who have helped me in other ways to create this piece of work; my clients and colleagues my co-learners and all who have contributed in some way in sharing their time or experience with me over the years.

Dedication

I dedicate this little book to my family. My wife Susie who is my constant companion and lover and best friend. You have stuck with me through periods of terrible pain and always believed in me and encouraged me and been able to give the right push at just the right time to stimulate my actions to make major changes to my life when it was really needed. I adore you for your honesty and faithfulness. I also dedicate this work to my sons Ben Luke and Asher who are my greatest source of joy. My hope for you all is that you become the people you are able to be. You each have qualities that I find awe inspiring, you are each in your own unique ways so much better than I have ever been and I admire you all for being who you are without compromise or self doubt. Live with passion and you will achieve whatever you wish for and focus on.
