Coaching and Mentoring

The book is an ideal choice for those studying coaching and seeking an evidenced based approach to the topic of coaching and mentoring. -- Jonathan Passmore
This is a book for those who want to think deeply about coaching and mentoring; it goes well beyond the 'how-to-do-it' of many texts and challenges us to pay attention to the wider implications of what we are doing. The authors draw on many sources, always with a critical approach that invites us to think about how what has been written has been influenced by the perspectives and discourses of the time and culture. -- Julie Hay
This new edition improves on what was already an excellent text. The additional case studies bring the theory to life and are very helpful. The ethos throughout this book is both thoughtful and humane, it's an ethical and comprehensive study of coaching and mentoring, and I endorse it wholeheartedly. -- Dr Simon Western
An excellent summary of historical context and current research understanding ... Nicely presented in a logical and easy to follow manner written in accessible language without losing the integrity of the source materials. Significant attention given to critique and opening up of the debates around coaching and mentoring with some very useful parallels drawn between what are often portrayed as conflicting disciplines. -- Dr Gary Andrew Husband
