"As someone who was interviewed as part of the research, it was great to see the results of Karen's extensive research in print. In this book Karen has done a fantastic job of taking a range of inputs and condensing them into 10 easy to digest steps to transforming your coaching practice. What I particularly like about the book is that it covers the whole spectrum of what it takes to be successful as a coach. Too often in my experience books like this either focus totally on the mindset or on the skills. Karen has done a great job in addreessing both these areas, drawing on both her own and others experiences. If you are someone who is running a coaching business or even just considering it, I strongly recommend this book to you."-- Duncan Brodie, Director of Goals and Achievements

"Absolutely full of very useful resources which will benefit people just starting out and existing business owners… You cannot fail to be inspired and motivated to become and model success" -- Gill Davis, Kincavel Coaching

"Karen’s use of other successful coaches experiences and knowledge enable you to quickly access tools, knowledge and experience it would otherwise take you years to discover! With a logical flow and useful exercises it makes a great blueprint for any coach looking to grow their business and take it to the next level. I must have for any serious coach in their professional development library"-- Elizabeth Graney

"Karen has created a highly resourceful book for all new coaches to read which will help them to set up their coaching business. Most coaches come out of training all fired up and qualified as a coach but are left without the necessary skills to set up their own successful coaching business and many end up giving up through lack of knowledge. I wish this book had been around when I started setting up my own coaching business some years ago." -- Pat Ayling

"The interviews with Successful Coaches are insightful and the exercises at the end of each chapter are useful and practical." -- Christopher Stribblehill
