'Julie has written one of the most helpful books on coaching that I have read. What I like about the book is that it addresses in a very down to earth way the many concerns that managers and leaders might have when adopting this method. However, no matter how much experience a coach has, they will benefit greatly from the middle section of the book addressing relationships, listening, questioning and feedback, and also the section on Whose agenda? There are countless examples of coaching questions and many coaching tips in separate boxes. Julie certainly knows her stuff.'

Sir John Whitmore, author of Coaching for Performance

This book is ideal for manager coaching, workplace coaching, coaching for performance, developing manager coaching skills and generally learning how to coach!
