Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"This is an extraordinarily thorough book. It covers a great range of practical guidance on matters that will concern the new coach [and] addresses a wide range of approaches to coaching while remaining firmly embedded in an experiential learning tradition."

“This is a masterful work that enables anyone who wishes to coach, whether they are a peer coach or an executive, to find guidelines as well as skills, tools, attitudes and behaviors that become developmental building blocks in any good coaching process. This is a must-read, essential for anyone wishing to help others in any corporate, educational or group setting. Very inspiring to read.”

“This book is an important milestone in the coaching literature….Coaching has long needed a comprehensive guide and reference book, and now it has one.”

“The world of business coaching can rejoice–the book we have been wanting and needing is here. This book harnesses the vast and complex world of excellence in coaching and offers it to us digestibly, delectably and with impressively accessible scholarship.”

“I am struck by the incredible generosity of this book….a rich and thorough blend of theoretical understanding and practical wisdom, delivered in a way that is highly accessible and of considerable value to experienced and inexperienced business coaches alike. It is a very welcome addition to my library!”
