Being a coach is a complex job - maybe you feel you could do with a coach yourself.
Alison Hardingham is a successful business coach. In her book, The Coach's Coach: Personal Development for Personal Developers, she combines her experience with that of three successful sports people: Mike Brearley, Adrian Moorhouse, and Brendan Venter.
Between them they set out the tools and techniques available to coaches, with solid, practical, experience-based advice on how and when to use them. They look at team coaching, executive mentoring, the role of the manager as coach and many other situations where coaching occurs. They also advise on what is required from both the coach and coachee to make the process work.
Whether you are an experienced coach or just starting out, a specialist consultant or a coaching manager, this book will help you to become better and to enjoy it more. And ultimately, it will help you to help the people you are coaching to improve their performance, which, after all, is why you became a coach in the first place.
