 - Dr. Rosie Kuhn, author of Self-Empowerment 101 "Leon VanderPol has written an outstanding, must-have book for professional coaches and anyone who facilitates transformation in others. Easy to read and understand, it is one of the few coaching books I have read cover-to-cover. I found myself reading every page and pondering the information presented." - Dr. Vikki Brock, MCC, author of Sourcebook of Coaching History "Leon VanderPol offers a beautiful guidebook for an intentional spiritual journey of awareness, understanding, and action. He invites the reader into living life as an ongoing and unfolding process rather than as a series of destinations or accomplishments. While this book is indeed a wonderful primer for transformative coaching, it is also a substantial guidebook for living in full awareness." - Alan Seale, Author of Transformational Presence: How To Make a Difference in a Rapidly Changing World "I highly recommend Leon's book, not only for coaches but for everyone who has asked themselves these questions: Who am I, and, who do I choose to become?
