Customer Reviews

A 'must read' book for coaches, mentors and consultants
This book discusses the practice, training, skills, capacities and the development and supervision of coaching, mentoring and organisational consultancy. Anyone working in these professions will benefit significantly from reading this book. This includes the areas of self-awareness, self-development and supporting your clients with transformational change.

Seminal Book on our Profession
This is a book about our profession which has all the right ingredients to help from a practical or philosophical point of view. I read the book from cover to cover, but it's just as useful to pull out the section in which you are interested and use the information.

You can read this book at a few different levels:

As a novice who is seeking a thorough grounding in the main theory underpinning our profession.

As a practitioner who is looking to improve their competence or capability in specific areas.

As an experienced practitioner who is looking to increase their capacity to deliver change in ever more complex and ambiguous environments.

The book has a few dozen approaches and tools, many of which I've used with success on assignments. Several were new to me and I'm looking forward to integrating them into my personal tool bag.

Coach or Supervisor - Buy this book!
If you're a coach wanting to be a better coach you should read this book. Written in a way that allowed me to truly and more deeply reconnect with the basics was totally inspiring. I found a thirst for the knowledge developing that comes along only very very occasionally. And moving through the book to understand supervision and its place has lifted my coaching to another level of awareness. Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us.
