Critics Review
Jonathan Passmore, a globally recognised, multi-award winning thought leader in organisation and people development. Chartered psychologist and accredited coach and supervisor

Approach this book with curiosity and courage. Executive coaching, at its best, is a disciplined dialogue in service of better leadership, but at its heart it’s just a conversation between two people. Iain is refreshingly realistic about that. This series of thought-provoking case studies by a very experienced professional will help coaches at the beginning of their career to understand the reality and complexity of their work, and for those in later stages it illustrates the breadth of approaches that can effectively be used.

This is a marvellous integration of experienced practitioners’ practical wisdom in coaching. It shows how specific goals and fixation performance deters the process from effective change. The emphasis must be on the quality of the relationship with shared sense of purpose and caring.
