Her book strikes a marvellous balance between theory, research and, most importantly, the application of business coaching. It truly is essential reading for anyone interested in the area.'
'I very much enjoyed reading about so many different aspects, and especially the various models that were presented and which included summaries of a wide range of approaches.
'I like this book because it is a smooth read with a good critical and questioning line throughout. There are some innovations, for example, two leadership chapters, a very interesting chapter on ethics and some well-constructed vignettes to ponder on.
