What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"This is a wise book in several ways....It describes the work of a wise practitioner who is able to provide exceptionally thoughtful and reliable help to her clients, synthesizing a complex and diverse array of perspectives in the process....This book is particularly valuable today. Coaching addresses an important and growing need as businesses and other organizations face unprecedented pressures....As a field of practice, it has expanded at an extraordinary rate....Wisdom in this realm is all too hard to come by. But here it is, both for those who want to know where to find it, so they can use it, and for those who want to know how to acquire it."—from the foreword by Kenneth Eisold, PhD, Past President, International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations
