'I have just read my first - and probably last - whole book on coaching. It is my last because it has done the job, giving me the most comprehensive examination of the art.'
- David Amos, former Deputy Director of HR at the Department of Health, writing in the Health Service Journal

Review of the second edition:
'This book is extremely useful for those beginning their careers in coaching and taking introductory and practitioner level courses. It is practical, accessible and covers core skills that will serve the practitioner well.'
