Reviews: "The explosive growth in the demand for coaching and mentoring is entirely deserved; it is because it works! This book is all you need to understand why and “ whether you are a giver or receiver “ to make it work for you."
Dr Peter Honey, chartered psychologist and management consultant
"For anyone looking for an introduction to coaching and mentoring that provides an easily understood guide to what to do, this would be difficult to beat."
Professor David Lane, Professional Development Foundation and Middlesex University
"Those who appreciate the authors` intelligent yet commonsense approach to coaching and mentoring will not be disappointed by this robust, immensely practical book. They explore an impressively broad range of disciplines influencing coaching and mentoring, demystifying them beautifully and signalling a clear way ahead for the maturing profession."
Liz Hall, editor, Coaching at Work
Description: Coaching and mentoring are simple and practical activities that can be applied to a continuum of situations. The focus for any coaching and mentoring relationship should be on what individuals are learning about themselves and their situation to take control and responsibility for managing their own development.
This second edition of Coaching and Mentoring has been radically updated and now includes:
¢ A new section that explores and de-mystifies the important role of philosophy and psychology in coaching and mentoring;
¢ Best-practice, practical tools and new case-studies to demonstrate how important it is to relate theoretical models to specific situations in order to gain real benefits;
¢ An insight into the development and future of the coach-mentoring profession.
This is one of the few books that cover the complete spectrum from life-coaching to team coaching, and business coaching to community mentoring. This practical and comprehensive guide will be of value to everyone involved in any aspect of the coaching and mentoring community.
