Reviews

It's a paradox of coaching that great coaches have a large toolkit -- but use them sparingly. Before you can let go of reliance on tools and techniques, you must first have the abundance that gives confidence they are there, if you ever need them. This volume helps the coach on that journey. * Professor David Clutterbuck * This is the go-to book for coaching practice. It gives you the full toolkit to handle most coaching situations and its accessibility will appeal to experienced practitioners as well as those just entering into coaching. With diversity and inclusion at the heart of most businesses in the 21st century, the tools for coaching women in the workplace and group coaching are both topical and invaluable. * John Athanasiou, Director of People, HarperCollins Publishers * This book is a rich source of practical approaches, whether you are an experienced coach, a new coach, or a manager wanting to become even better at coaching team members. * Angela Sabin, Principal Coach, Executive Life Coaching * Whether you are an experienced coach or new to coaching, this is an excellent resource full of practical tips that cover a whole variety of topics and situations. The tools can be easily adapted to different coaching situations and the tips are so useful when preparing to coach. I really appreciated the chapter on Coaching Skills for Managers - through the COVID-19 pandemic we have recognised that, more than ever, coaching is a critical leadership activity, so the tools on helping to manage productivity and retain talent will be very valuable. * Cheryl Hathaway, Head of People and Development, Big Yellow Group PLC * A big welcome to Ro Gorell and Gillian Jones' fifth edition of their useful book of coaching tools. They have expanded their book to address the changing challenges of our time, including more on developing women leaders, agile change, coach supervision and organizational complexity. Not only professional coaches but all managers and leaders will find this book a valuable resource for developing others, and the wider systems they work within. * Professor Peter Hawkins; Chairman of Renewal Associates and author of Leadership Team Coaching and Leadership Team Coaching in Practice * Whoever you are and whatever you want from coaching there is something in this book for you; practical tools, great insights and new areas of focus, I love it! * Jenny Cridland, Leadership Development Consultant, Be the Business *
