Customer Reviews

The Coaching Manual
This book is an inspirational guide about how to be a great coach. Julie has very clearly described how to successfully manage a coaching relationship, but almost more importantly she also shows you how to get a better understanding of yourself so that you can be the best coach for your clients. A fantastic handbook that i'm referring to daily.

The Coaching Manual
A comprehensive, deceptively simple explanation of the principles underpinning coaching and some of the skills required to be a good coach. I have used this as an introduction to the coaching process but it will remain on my bookshelf as one to "dip in and out of" as I continue to develop.

The Coaching Manual
Julie's ability to convey the real heart of coaching conversation is inspiring. The book provides understanding of skills, processes, examples, insightful questioning etc etc but most of all it has shone a light of my coaching journey.Excellent.
