Here are a few reviews:
“I have no doubt this will become a trusted companion for many coaches. It’s an essential resource to dip into whenever you need fresh ideas, reassurance, or inspiration. It’s more than a guide to coaching exercises; it’s a testament to the power of lifelong learning and creative exploration in coaching.”
Kim Morgan MA, MCC, Founder and Chairperson of Barefoot Coaching Ltd
“This book is a must for all coaches, whether they are new or more mature in their coaching career. It gives tools, approaches and reflection points which will help you to elevate your coaching.”
Ruth Kudzi, MCC, CEO and Founder of Optimus Coach Academy
“Knowing as a coach that you have a large toolkit of approaches and frameworks allows you to rise above them. The fact that they are there as a backstop gives you confidence to use them sparingly, if at all. To concentrate on being a coach, not doing coaching. Books like this play a vital role in this process, especially when they come with numerous illustrations that make the approaches more memorable.”
David Clutterbuck, Author and Co-founder of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council
“One word… WOW!
I was hoping it’d be amazing, and kind of expecting it to be, and it absolutely is! Packed with ideas, activities, tips and wisdom. Wow. Just WOW!”
