If you work as a coach or are considering doing so, there is no better place to begin." <br> --Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor at the University of Nevada and author of <em>Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life </em></p><br><br><p>"Blonna has done a superlative job of integrating the ACT principles and practices with coaching. I found the most valuable part was dealing with what Blonna calls the psychologically inflexible client. His tips for how to assist clients in getting 'unstuck' using values fusing are enlightening and powerful. I also greatly appreciate his mindfulness strategies and how they blend with his concrete and practical tools. His intake forms are essential for all practitioners.
