This book is a good overview of coaching and mentoring. I am a coach and so I think it's a great resource for coaches as it lays out the opportunities and complexities in coaching. There are various coaching models shared but I imagine that most credentialed coaches were trained in specific modes but it's good to see how the models differ. It is not a book that will turn you into a coach! I especially appreciated the section on supervision and continued growth for coaches.

The section on team coaching would be helpful to a team leader with the key point being that culture matters.

All in all a good tool.
I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Revised issue of coaching and mentoring to include changes that have happened due to the COVID 19 pandemic, how the pandemic has changed coaching and mentoring and the way in which it’s delivered.
Tips and checklists throughout the book will help further develop coaching practice.
Chapters to include culture, different generations and their reactions to the present world and how coaching and mentoring can support these shifts and learning.
A book to have to hand to refer back to helping develop coaching and mentoring practice.

Great go-to guide with many step by step explanations for direct implementation. I truly believe that part of value of belonging to an organisation is ability and opportunity to learn from each other which this book is all about. It's down to earth, practical and doesn't ring the bullshit bell as sometimes such books do.m

This book provides a broad overview of models helping in coaching and mentoring. It is a good way to see similarities and differences.

I wish that all notes with references into resources would be provided at the end of the book, not after each specific chapter.

Больше похоже на пособие: что такое коучинг вообще и отличие от наставничества. Именно теории для практической работы тут не найти. Много информации о том какие бывают виды коучинг и как их устраиваться в организацию. По мне эта немного излишняя информация для этой книги

There are many books dedicated to explaining the art and practicality of coaching and mentoring, but far too many seem to get stuck in their own little world and manage to over-complicate matters. This book, however, now in its third revision is different, offering a clear and practical guide to actually doing coaching and mentoring!

Weaving theory and real world practice together, the authors provide a clear, engaging look at the subject, backed up with clear tools, actionable frameworks and a host of strategies that they say can be utilised in every coaching or mentoring situation. This is said to be a major “update” over previous editions, bringing it up-to-date with some of the latest thinking and developments in the subject. Its price-point is very reasonable too.

As well as the excellent book knowledge being patiently served up, it was particularly interesting to note the opinions and experiences of many practitioners working within the field, allowing the reader to observe how they go about things and discover some of the challenges and issues they may have faced. This could be viewed as the icing on the metaphorical cake. Certainly, the authors have done a good job in making the subject accessible, engaging and of interest, especially to the confused or sceptical reader. For those who are already fully on-board, this can be certainly a book worth considering to add to their knowledge and experience armoury.

Now, this reader came away a lot more informed and quite positive to the whole coaching and mentoring process; so the authors have managed to do some coaching from afar to great success.
