“It’s low on waffle and fluff, but adds meat to the bones where needed. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who is working in a coaching capacity.”
“This is an advanced book though I would recommend it to those new to coaching and to experienced practitioners. Based on my reading of it I’d say to beginners do less than you think in your coaching and to people like me, who have been coaching for many years, do way less than you are doing. To simplify your coaching read this book and practice the deep wisdom offered up in Claire Pedrick’s straight forward, no fluff, style.
It’s also a simple book, easy to read and broken down into less than 10 chapters each with short passages taking the reader through the beginning, middle and end of the coaching process and all linked back to what the main coaching bodies say – a very useful feature for those working towards coaching credentials.
This is a distillation of Claire’s 30 years coaching experience, its practical and useable, it’s how she coaches, it’s how she coaches me.”
