From the Publisher
Discover what's new in this classic work that helped define the field of coaching.

With the first edition of CO-ACTIVE COACHING, Laura Whitworth and her pioneering coauthors set the stage for what has become a cultural and business phenomenon--and helped launch the professional practice of coaching. Durable and flexible, their Co-Active Coaching model has stood the test of time as a transformative communication process that co-workers and teammates, direct reports and managers, teachers and students can use to build strong, collaborative relationships. Now, in this new edition, the authors bring current their original work to reflect today's reality: how coaching has moved beyond its initial focus on life skills to become an integral part of an organization's toolkit for developing leaders, working with teams, and building individual competencies essential for success.

Already used as the definitive resource in dozens of corporate and professional development programs, CO-ACTIVE COACHING has been updated to include the latest terminology and a wide-ranging set of fresh coaching examples drawn from the authors' firthand experience with thousands of international coaching trainees and clients. The power-packed Coach's Toolkit has been expanded to include more than 35 exercises, questionnaires, checklists, and reproducible forms. And a CD containing sample audio coaching sessions and printable forms from the Toolkit has been added to make these proven principles and techniques both practical and immediately actionable.

Domino's Pizza's New Recipe

So I want to try it. I know it's gross. It's one of the grossest pizza chains there is. Mr. Gatti's or Godfather's would have to be the worst... CiCi's is worse than frozen pizza from the damned Safeway. But, shit, it's only like $1 for ass many fucking pieces as you can fit in your fucking head in one sitting!

But i'm all about Domino's new pizza because the commercial told me it's delicious. Commercials are my consumer religion. They tell me what to buy.

Infomercials are the worst! They're my crack. For instance, i ordered the girls gone wild vid series not once but twice. My boyfriend was pissed. He made me be his piss play bottom for a whole week. But that's not the bad part! He wouldn't even let me swallow. Selfish bastard.

So, anywayz, I've seen the commercial approximately 760 times while smoking weed and watching Comedy Central. [walking like a zombie] That was just enough times to send me salivating to my computer to the website to find the nearest delivery service in my area. It's as if i'd been bitten and now hungered for the flesh of the living. [Zombie moan]

The dominos pizza site was like hardcore fat girl porn. Ohhhhh . There it was all cheezy and sexy. Lists of toppings. Uh, sauces. I almost blew my load at the words Peppercorn Parmisian Dipping Sauce. Gasp.
