Format:Paperback
The last time I entered the term coaching into the Amazon UK search facility it returned 3495 hits. Coaching literature is springing up quite literally like wildfire and so to produce a coaching `bible' at this time is a bold move indeed. Whilst the authors take care to point out that by bible they mean a handbook and practical guide rather than a definitive account, I wonder if some readers may buy the book expecting the latter.
The book is divided into 4 sections. In section 1, The Heart and Soul of Coaching the authors describe an overall approach to coaching based on a framework called multimodal coaching. Section 2, the nuts and bolts of coaching gives detail around using the model in all parts of a coaching intervention and these ideas are further developed in section 3, Coaching - the larger issues. Section 4, Coaching and Beyond considers coaching form a more philosophical standpoint and suggests - rightly, in my view - that it is an essential way of interacting with each other is these turbulent times.
The book is written in an upbeat, accessible style with which readers of their previous works will be familiar. This makes it an easy read with ideas that are simply conveyed and therefore easily actioned. This is an absolute necessity in any coaching book and is a particular strength here.
In terms of target readership I would suggest it would be most useful to the established practitioner who is looking for some fresh insights and perspectives. I think Life and Executive coaches would find the book invaluable but a manager coaching in an organisation may prefer something more practical.

Superb book. I work as a coach and I really rate this. Material is straight forward, clear, easy to follow and relate to. I use it and I recommend it. I have found some other coaching books wordy, wafflely and confusing but not this one. Very useful from the perspective of the coach or someone who is looking for someone to coach them and wants to know how to recognize the best. Easy and enjoyable to read. Useful exercises as well.

I like this book. It is one of the few works to really appreciate the coach cannot do it all, in spite of how the ego's of some coaches may react. Skilfully they explain how the coach, those who commission the assignment, and the client (coachee) all have key roles and responsibilities. In addition the section on powerful questions, life issues - including purpose, and dealing with interference are all well presented and easy to understand. I applaud this pair, with my dual hats on as Executive Coach and author The Coaching Parent.
