Richard Strozzi-Heckler quotes:

The greatest cost of the specialization of technological life - and out of which all other damages are birthed - is arguably our separation from the practical and enriching sense of ourselves as embodied beings.

As the field of coaching finds its way to becoming a mature discipline, James Flaherty's dedicated field research, study, and sound articulation offers a definitive ground and a sensibility of genuine care.

This is a no-nonsense, generous, pragmatic book that belongs on the shelf every coach, novice or veteran.

Being a warrior doesn't mean winning or even succeeding. It means risking and failing and risking again, as long as you live.

When we no longer are afraid of who we are we act from integrity and authenticity.
