2008-08-25 Pragmatist's Dream

This book follows Curly's easy to digest style of her previous books. It is a pragmatist's dream, with a synopsis of each chapter at the beginning of each chapter, followed by a case study that frames the chapter content.

Throughout the book there are `Diagnostic Question Boxes' to get you thinking and an Action Plan Section at the end of each chapter so you can commit to put your learning into practice.

As a coach, I found it useful because it helps identify the areas or issues that business owners may be facing and so has the duel effect of assisting you improve your coaching practice and giving you a context to coach business owners.
