Reviews
Entrepreneurship is a major contributor to economic growth and women are increasingly becoming entrepreneurs. Carianne Hunt and Sandra Fielden make a significant contribution here in showing that an e-coaching program can support women's success in these efforts. They first identified internal and external barriers women face in starting entrepreneurial ventures, they then developed an efficient e-coaching program, pairing coaches and coachees that successfully addressed them. A timely, important and practical initiative that both supports women's dreams and contributes to society. --Ronald Burke, York University, UK
This book is about an innovative and pioneering group of women workers, namely women entrepreneurs. It systematically discusses the role of coaching in their personal development. The book provides a sophistically elaborated theoretical overview of coaching as an intervention and underpins this with well-grounded longitudinal empirical support. Coaching for Women Entrepreneurs is a relevant and timely book. It is a must-read for anyone academically or professionally interested in coaching women entrepreneurs. --Inge Bleijenbergh, Radboud University, the Netherlands
