50 Top Tools for Coaching

"It's a paradox of coaching that great coaches have a large toolkit -- but use them sparingly. Before you can let go of reliance on tools and techniques, you must first have the abundance that gives confidence they are there, if you ever need them. This volume helps the coach on that journey." * Professor David Clutterbuck *
"This is the go-to book for coaching practice. It gives you the full toolkit to handle most coaching situations and its accessibility will appeal to experienced practitioners as well as those just entering into coaching. With diversity and inclusion at the heart of most businesses in the 21st century, the tools for coaching women in the workplace and group coaching are both topical and invaluable." * John Athanasiou, Director of People, HarperCollins Publishers *
"This book is a rich source of practical approaches, whether you are an experienced coach, a new coach, or a manager wanting to become even better at coaching team members." * Angela Sabin, Principal Coach, Executive Life Coaching *
"Whether you are an experienced coach or new to coaching, this is an excellent resource full of practical tips that cover a whole variety of topics and situations. The tools can be easily adapted to different coaching situations and the tips are so useful when preparing to coach. I really appreciated the chapter on Coaching Skills for Managers - through the COVID-19 pandemic we have recognised that, more than ever, coaching is a critical leadership activity, so the tools on helping to manage productivity and retain talent will be very valuable." * Cheryl Hathaway, Head of People and Development, Big Yellow Group PLC *
