There are currently well over 50,000 books on Amazon related to the topic of coaching! Of course, I’ve not read them or even claim to know what the entirety of the coaching universe holds. I can, however, offer the following curated list of books. I have read nearly all of them; for the ones I haven’t, either I have worked directly with the authors, or another leader in the field, around their topics. I hope you enjoy finding ones that pique your interest and deepen your understanding of the amazing possibilities of coaching and related topics 😉 -kevin
