Reviews / Votes
"50 Top Tools for Coaching is the Swiss Army knife of coaching. A fabulous resource for every coach who wants to extend their coaching practice, giving themselves flexibility to be able to better respond to client's needs and a global workforce." * Prof Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School * "Tools that work at multiple levels individual, team, and the organizational system. The 6th edition understands this complexity. The additions around neurodiversity and navigating change are particularly timely for the work many of us are doing with executive teams, while the guidance on building a coaching practice offers structure for both emerging and experienced coaches. This book is exceptionally well structured - you can find what you need when you need it. Whether you're an internal coach building capability within your organization or a professional coach working across multiple clients, this is a resource you'll actually use." * Tammy Turner, ICF Master Certified Coach, international coach trainer and supervisor, CEO Turner International *More details
