If you've been in the coaching profession for a while, you already know that there are all kinds of "free" educational resources out there. And you've noticed that many of them are disappointing, promising fantastic results but failing to give you the information you need to get those results unless you buy into their coaching, training or marketing program. I don't know about you, but I am "bootstrapping' my coaching practice. That means I need to keep a close eye on expenses and make sure the training I invest in delivers results. I purchased this book because it was required reading for my Christian Coaching Certification.
I checked out the author's background. He's a Christian coach that has trained many other Christian coaches, helped found an international coaching school and developed materials used to train Christian coaches around the world. Tony writes in simple, conversational language and teaches coaching skills that can be directly applied to your practice.
The book starts by exploring the nature of coaching and the "heart" of a coach. For many of us, this is a review of fundamental principles, but it never hurts to be reminded of the fundamentals. Tony is unafraid to discuss the importance of listening and discerning God's influence while coaching. This is part of the core of a healthy client-coach relationship-we should always be careful not to interfere with the way in which God is working in our client's life.
The book goes on to illustrate specific models of the coaching conversation. gives specific guidance on how to establish a healthy coaching relationship, and explores what Tony calls the coaching funnel. Throughout the book, Tony includes practice exercises, sample questions and personal stories to illustrate his main points. This style of presenting information makes it easy and enjoyable to understand the book and apply its teachings in your coaching practice.
No, it's not free, but it's a real bargain that will give you lots of information you can use immediately along with lessons that you can meditate on and grow into as your coaching skills develop.

Job Interview Tips - 3 Important Things To Always Remember
A job interview can be a daunting experience. One of the big challenges is to come across as being confident even though you are very nervous. For most of us there is a lot on the line when we go for that job interview and if its that dream job then its really important that you put your best foot forward and show them what you are made off. Interviews need not be such a nerve wrecking experience. By following some basic tips you can be calm, confident and completely in control. Lets quickly look at 3 important things that you need to keep in mind at all times.
1. Punctuality
Needless to say, when you are late for your interview you might as well not go. Punctuality is something that is valued by all employers simply because it speaks volumes about your ability to organize your time. Always be prepared for the worse. Plan for that traffic jam and if you use public transport, make sure you plan for the worse. Always arrive 10 minutes early and never arrive 1 hour early.
2. Body Language
As I already mentioned, coming across as a confident person is incredibly important. Your body language will however be an easy way to tell if you are not confident. Try and look people in the eye when you talk to them. Don't twitch with your hands and move slowly and deliberately. Try and relax as nervousness is a trait of someone who is not very confident.
3. Talking About Yourself
Its amazing how most people tend to sell themselves short. We all have this fear of coming across as arrogant and often we sell ourselves short during a job interview. Its important that you speak confidently about your qualifications, your experience and your skills. The important distinction is to not talk up your personality traits too much as that can come across as being arrogant. Talk up your skills, experience and qualifications as much as you can.
They say that people form impressions of each other within the first 5 seconds when they meet. Needless to say that first impressions count - and they count a lot in a job interview. Make sure you present well and do whatever it takes to make that first five seconds count. It can make or break your interview and maybe even your job opportunity and your career.

Creative Home Schooling for Gifted Children by Lisa Rivero
"We home school, in the words of Annemarie Roeper, to educate for life rather than simply to educate for success."
In the aftermath of the 911 bombings, when Lisa Rivero was finishing writing this book, realization came to her of exactly how profound of a statement this actually was. She says, "I began to understand on a new level. We don't learn about architecture or read great books or study world countries in order "to home school." We home school so that we're free to learn about life in its unpredictable complexity. We home school to ask questions and to seek answers for ourselves, to put ourselves in another's place, to begin to forge new connections and relationships for a new global community, to do our small part as citizens of the world."
Says author, David H. Albert, author of "And the Skylark Sings with Me: Adventures in Homeschooling and Community-Based Education, "Giftedness, whether of the intellectual or other varieties, exists on a continuum like most other characteristics."
Parents of gifted children face unique challenges that are seldom discussed or taken seriously by other parents or school personnel," says Lisa. "While parents should not become preoccupied with a child's potential nor should they organize the entire family around the gifted child, it is extremely beneficial for parents to be aware of:
(1) why their children seem different, and
(2) that the difference is real and necessitates unique parenting and educational approaches.
I cannot adequately describe the relief I felt when I finally met other parents who, like me, were accused of being pushy when their young children taught themselves to read before school age, or who felt helpless as they watched their child's extreme and painful sensitivity, or who struggled to keep up with the reasoning powers of a six-year-old asking a question a minute."
This book, and its 400 pages, is a wealth of information! Chapters cover subjects such as: Traits of Giftedness, Social and Emotional Needs, Intellectual Needs, Learning Styles - Learning With a Difference, Creating Your Home School Approach, Your Creative Home School Toolbox, and chapters on Paperwork, Documentation, & Testing, Special Topics, plus so much, much more.
In her book are also sections on Resources for Gifted Children, References, publishers who offer curriculum for gifted students, websites to help parents of gifted children, software companies, and more. If you think your child is gifted, or you are looking for support in educating your gifted child, then I would seriously recommend that you check into owning this book. I believe that you can glean a lot from it!
