Product Description
The Voice of NLP - David Hoad , Kingsmore Consultancy
This title deserves to sit - hopefully well-thumbed - alongside the very limited number of internationally respected books on coaching.
Review
"The author has achieved the nearimpossible-writing a book that demonstrates the potential of coaching as an effective and ethical instrument for change and gives a flavor of its depth, richness and subtlety, but is never the less, accessible, comprehensible and usable for pro and novice alike. This title deserves to sit -hopefully well-thumbed - alongside the very limited number of internationally respected books on coaching."

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.

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.
