The Digital Coaching Revolution by Anna Tavis is a textbook that is an easy read. It's definitely fact-based rather than opinion based, with each chapter ending with a list of references. What I appreciate most about this book is its wide-ranging coverage of topics, from inclusivity and AI to wellness coaching, The author covers a spectrum of relevant subjects that are applicable to new coaches looking to start out and seasoned professionals curious about the future trends of digital coaching. Overall, this was an easy read, with short sections to dip in and out of and I found the examples of real-life organizations particularly useful.

This practical manual shows why and how digital coaching has become a vital part of growing toward business and personal goal. Coaching has the core principle of "You already know what you need for the next step," and a coach can catapult a client from where they are to the phase just ahead.

I'm a coach so this book interested me from a professional POV. The many examples of real-life value and transformation were inspiring as well as instructive. A coaching instructor should have this textbook in their toolbox as they train for aspiring coaches or experienced coaches wanting to reach the next level.

I highly recommend this book for those considering 1) hiring a coach for personal or professional reasons; 2) becoming a coach; or 3) improving your skills as a professional or amateur coach (for example as a minister, NGO leader, or advisor.)
