Media Reviews
'The book provides useful information for any organisation with a culturally diverse workforce... But Diversity for Coaching goes beyond the international differences; it also looks at gender and age issues.' Works Management ...they do a sterling job in making coaches culturally and religiously aware when operating in different territories. It's a useful country-by-country guide, and there are differences when it comes to coaching. Human Resources ...this is a worthwhile attempt to both review existing knowledge in the field of coaching, and develop this knowledge into working practice. Consequently, the book can be used by both student and practitioner, which is a rare recommendation. Manager November 2009
