REVIEWS
Janet Steinwedel has extended the range and depth of the field of coaching to include both social horizontal dimensions and the vertical spiritual dimension. This book is a highly practical guide for professionals who wish to take their work further. The author's seriousness in this endeavor is to be commended, and her expertise is most impressive. -Murray Stein, Ph.D., Author of Jung's Map of the Soul
As a leader of a faith community I am delighted to see this coaching process embedded in a learning community. This further dispels old and unhealthy concepts of the lone leader' with its manifestations of manipulation and boiler plate methodologies. Dr. Steinwedel offers a way toward what I consider to be Biblical values of servant leadership and facilitates a healthier sense of living and working together in community.
The bottom line is that this book offers insights into how those chosen to lead might do so with integrity that arises from deep self-reflection along with experiences of healthy collegial/community life. I know that my organization will be well served by this work. -Rev. Dr. Harold M. Delhagen, Synod Leader/Executive, The Synod of the Northeast PC (USA)
Janet Steiwedel's book is a practical and inspirational guide for a group coach seeking to integrate programmatic group coaching with the best of the Jungian approach, integrating vision and meaning. -Justin Hecht, PhD, Certified Jungian Analyst & Certified Group Psychotherapist, San Francisco
