Product Description
Review of the first edition:
"I have just read my first - and probably last - whole book on coaching. It is my last because it has done the job, giving me the most comprehensive examination of the art."
David Amos, former Deputy Director of HR at the DoH, writing in the Health Service Journal
Review of the second edition:
“This book is extremely useful for those beginning their careers in coaching and taking introductory and practitioner level courses. It is practical, accessible and covers core skills that will serve the practitioner well.”
Professor David Lane, Middlesex University

This is the best book on the ACTUAL PROCESS of coaching I have read to date.
Many of the books out currently spend so much time talking about the differentiation of coaching from mentoring or therapy, or wallowing in the ego of the author's achievements, or telling you how to find a coach, etc., etc., that I have tended to lose all interest before finishing them.
Jenny Rogers' book is a clearly written practical aid and spends most of the time talking about things we really need to know and understand about delivering the service of coaching.
I would say she knows a thing or two about the subject. I guess the fact that it (my edition) is published by the Open University Press shows that other people have noticed this also! Buy this if you're interested in becoming a coach or indeed already are one!

This book has been a revelation. I have been involved in business coaching for over 10 years and am amazed how helpful this book has been. It has been encouraging that the book has reaffirmed a number of approaches and techniques I use. What has been far more useful is the way the book has made me challenge and reappraise my own practice and in some cases I will be changing what I do. The book is easy to read and full of very practical examples and case-studies. Thank you Jenny Rogers
