Written by two leading scholars in the field, this book is an essential guide to the theory and practice of 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.
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.
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.
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.
This book was very informative for key areas of coaching and mentoring, great to see the range and differences between the two.
An accessible, well presented text. The chapter on Power is particularly illuminating.
A thought provoking book which should be on the reading list for anybody studying coaching and mentoring.
This text offers a range of valuable information in an accessible format. I’ve used it with both undergraduate and postgraduate cohorts.
This is a very useful and interesting book for anyone needing to gain an insight into coaching and mentoring, and why they are similar but different.
Very good book and very relevant to social work. Top of my essential list for Practice Educators in training and beyond and have referred to this regularly.
