Ann Fry has arranged inspiring coaching tips into management daily servings in “Coaching Morsels and a Few Extra Bites.”  Rather than getting bogged down with a coaching/self-help book, Ann Fry has molded the same inspiring work into nugget-sized portions.  These small tidbits of coaching advice are easily remembered.

Ann Fry began breaking coaching information into morsels, so she could send inspiring thoughts to friends via email.  She took the idea of bite-sized helpings of information, and decided to make a mini-card book.  Though it is formatted to last a year, it is not in a calendar format. 

Many of the tips are to see the glass as half full rather than half empty.  For example, she asks the reader the question, “What if you lived from the concept of “All is well?”  So often, our problems are the focus, rather than our joys.  My favorite is the question, “What if you knew you could not fail?”  Since failure should not be an option to any of us, we should live our lives working toward whatever goals we desire. 

“What’s your value?”  That was thought-provoking.  “If you were to die today, who or what would be affected?”  She asks the reader to ponder, “If I could wake up tomorrow morning and have the exact life I want …”  “What would I have?  Who would I be?  What would I do?”  I hope all the readers can say that they are living the life they dream of.  If not, start!

There are areas to write down notes.  “Coaching Morsels and a Few Extra Bites” has large font.  It is written in an informal manner. 

I plan to give “Coaching Morsels and a Few Extra Bites” as a gift for co-workers, teachers, and friends.  It will make an excellent stocking stuffer.  I found inspiration in “Coaching Morsels and a Few Extra Bites”.  I hope you do as well.
