Finding Your Coach: Diving Deep Within is a nonfiction motivational self-help book written by Melinda J. Kelly. Kelly reached that place in her life that so many others experience at some point. Her family’s business was no longer the cutting edge and special thing that it had been, and it was now time for her to consider doing other things with her life. Figuring out exactly what would be a fulfilling and appropriate use of her skills, talents and experiences was the first step in embracing her voyage of self-discovery. She had to consider who she was and what she actually wanted -- apart from the traditional deference women of her generation were trained to give to family and familial relationships. This time, the focus was on herself. She was an experienced researcher and had literally grown up with a computer at her disposal. Thus armed, she set out to discover who she wanted to be.

Finding Your Coach describes the voyage to self-realization that Kelly experienced, and she shows how readers can set out on such journeys for themselves. Her first step is determining whether one is an introvert or extrovert, and many may discover that they’ve got a little of each in their psychological makeup. She then poses a number of questions to her readers about their relationships with others, particularly parental figures, and whether being considered nice is really that important after all. Along the road to self-discovery, Kelly discusses the role of coaches, mentors, even facilitators at seminars and authors, and she shows how each type of coaching can help the reader determine who they are and how they want to proceed with their life journey.

Melinda J. Kelly’s book gives readers a wealth of insights and ways to learn more about themselves, decide what they want and figure out how to effect the necessary changes to make it happen. Her book is well written and organized, and her writing style is smooth and conversational. Kelly, in effect, shares with her readers how she became her own coach, and she offers her insights so readers can initially help themselves, and then expand and use other sources of help. Finding Your Coach: Diving Deep Within is highly recommended.

Melinda J. Kelly’s Finding Your Coach goes beyond the client-coach relationship to external issues that also play a role in the relationship’s success. She points out a factor that many people tend to overlook when picking a coach, which is that different people relate best with different coaches. What could work for one person may not necessarily work for another. After the whole coaching endeavor is done, some remain stranded on where to begin and how to apply the new knowledge they have acquired. In Finding Your Coach, Kelly explains what follows. She defines success, explaining it from different points of view, and shows how the answer to what success really is could differ from what society commonly refers to as prosperity. The book instills confidence, urging the reader to celebrate small successes and to understand success by the way they impact other people.
