The Coaching Bible
Reviewed by Dr Peter Stokes, principal lecturer/division leader, Lancashire Business School, University of Central Lancashire.
This is straightforward, nut-and-bolts “how to” guide to coaching. The book takes the reader through the necessary basis of the coaching process and options. It is well-written, sticks to the business at hand, and is true to its “Essential Handbook” title.
However, don’t overlook the sections “Coaching – The Larger Issues” and “Coaching and Beyond”. These create a platform from which readers can progress to further reading.One of the more intriguing and interesting sections of the book is “Being Impeccable”, which brings a moral and ethical dimension to the subject area. Coaching has been considered as a novelty and has, like many fashions, clearly attracted its fair share charlatans. The aspirations and code of conduct discussed here are worthy and valuable aspects of the coaching world.
