Review
I used this book to help me navigate an introduction to life coaching course I was studying and found it invaluable both for painting the wider picture and as a reference point for some key theory and skills information. Such is the book s easy accessibility and relevance that it is excellent for a wide readership from others in training like me to existing practitioners; people who want to know what life coaching is to those who might be thinking of going to see one. For client or coach this book is an excellent starting point. --Emma Nelson, Student Support Officer, University of Leeds
