If you are involved in business training or coaching, this really is the only book you will ever need. Before now, coaching was a muddle of single-model approaches, so finding the right model to get the best results was never certain. In Performance Coaching, Dr. Angus McLeod brings together the fundamentals of all the best practices in coaching and builds up from this foundation. Unlike so many of the coaching books already on the market, this book is for the coaches, not for the clients. Fast, accessible and clearly written, Performance Coaching is comprehensive and rich in real examples of real executives achieving real success in real-life situations. Experienced coaches will find important tips and tools to enhance their practice, and novices will find the book a gold-mine of ideas.

Format:Paperback
NLP enables us to develop the crucial behaviours, techniques (verbal and non-verbal), and mindsets that deliver excellence in communication and influencing. NLP can, therefore, be invaluable in business and in coaching because it helps us, and those we interact with, to achieve clear goals. Angus McLeod's book effortlessly applies a range of NLP, and other, techniques to business coaching. Easy to read and full of examples, this book is essential reading for all coaches. I also recommend it for those interested in the applications of NLP to management since it explains and illustrates many NLP tools extremely well. Indeed, I have never seen techniques such as anchoring, submodalities and logical levels better explained in a business context. Personally I would have liked more on the meta-model, and on the presuppositions of NLP, but this is a minor point. Overall this book is excellent and highly recommended for business coaches and managers alike.

The book is very good, it captures the essence of Coaching with some hard hitting facts. As a studying Coach the different techniques discussed, when used, constantly catch individuals unprepared for such dialogue. Well worth the expence for an anvancing Coach.

I am currently working towards a level 5 diploma in coaching and this book is on the recommended reading list, which speaks for itself.

Format:Kindle Edition
Whether or not you are new to coaching this is an important book. I
read it when starting out as a coach in 2003. Re-reading it I realise
how much I learned that easily became second nature. Because coaching
is about creating a good space for the coachee/client it can feel as
if there is not much to it. The client/coachee does it all. But it is
the `not much' that is important, the attentive respectful listening
and the well-timed good questions with so much skill behind them.
Angus quite rightly says `...the skills of the coach can be more of a
way of "being"' than a package of skills used for coaching
intervention.' And it is crucial to keep learning and revising your
skills in order to make the most of your own way of being as a coach.
In 'Performance Coaching' Angus McLeod teaches through dialogues
between himself as coach and different coachees. This brings life to
the techniques. The examples are from coaching at work, but are just
as useful for freelance life coaches and others who wish to master
coaching skills for professional helping conversations. You can see
exactly how gentle questions enable coachees to find new understanding
and confidence, and how people become able to identify practical
steps. Everything Angus does as coach is explained in accompanying
linguistic tips, tools and interventions, so you can easily transfer
skills into your own work. He includes NLP, story-telling, `Clean'
metaphor work and much else which is valuable to know for coaching.
Buy `Performance Coaching', read it, re-read it and make good use of a
very thoughtful and practical book.
