 Me, Myself and Why? shares insights, tools for change Coaching books usually fall into two categories. I call these categories "Lists of Tips" and "Lots of Revelations." About half-way into Me, Myself and Why? The Secrets to Navigating Change, I realized coach Lisa Mininni has written a book that combines the best of both those worlds. In addition to sharing insights from her own experience and observations, she provides the tools needed to overcome the behaviors and attitudes that keep us stuck in places we really don't want to be. Mininni's common-sense approach involves first getting to the heart of what drives us, then learning how to use those motivators to keep us from getting stalled when we need to move forward. Her "Self-Reflection" moments, sprinkled throughout the book, provide unique, thought-provoking questions to help the reader apply each chapter's lessons in a meaningful way. In the most intriguing portion of the book, Mininni creates a series of characters to illustrate traits, beliefs and behaviors, rather than just describing them. You'll find yourself and people you know in "Audacious Adam," "Juggler Jane," "Analytical Ann," and others whose fictional lives prove quite revealing. After each profile, Mininni lists a series of questions to help readers make the leap between the character and self-identification, then offers specific strategies for change. Mininni draws on some of her own personal journey, as well the experiences of others to illustrate the book's concepts and keep this an interesting read. But take it slowly, because it's important to do the work of answering the questions and reflecting on how these concepts apply to your own life. And that's where you'll find all those Revelations. Read our interview with the author. --Joni Hubred-Golden |
