Reviews
The book brings together the what, how and why of coaching but also gives some practical advice and examples on how coaching works. [...] I think the book is value for money, it is readable and a useful book for someone who is new to coaching. -- Lisa Brockway, Dyslexia Action Principal, Leicester and Derby Learning Centres
