Have you ever wished you could sit in on the sessions of a master coach? To hear their interpretations of the coaching challenges they are presented with and the thinking behind their choices of approaches and interventions? This is a rare opportunity to do just that.
Make no mistake, this is no dry textbook of coaching tools and techniques. It’s a deep dive into the heart of what it is to be human and face the hard challenges of life.
In these coaching stories we encounter clients battling a whole variety of difficulties and anxieties that take us from organisational and personal issues to matters of life and death.
Jenny is here too. Her wise commentary is balanced with an openness about her own experiences and struggles, which adds a richness and poignancy to the narrative, and illustrates so well that coaching truly is ‘human to human’.
These are gripping stories; they are also extraordinary insights into the potency of skilful and compassionate coaching. This truthful and moving book will mark a turning point in the understanding of the nature and potential of coaching.
