Coaching with Spirit is an uncommon resource that shows you how to enhance your effectiveness by integrating spirituality into your professional interactions with clients. Written for coaches and managers-of all types and levels of expertise-this book is not a primer on spirituality but rather it is a guide that suggests practical ways you can get into "the zone" and welcome Spirit into your coaching business. Author Teri-E Belf outlines a plan of action for breathing new life into your coaching style and provides the guide you need to perform the following CPR on your coaching business:
* Connection-- increase connection with yourself, your client, and the whole
* Present-- be fully available in the present moment
* Responsible-- able to respond and be accountable for your choices
