Media Reviews

Achieving Excellence in Your Coaching Practice is a first-rate addition to the series in Essential Coaching Skills and Knowledge by Routledge and delivers suitably against the stated objectives of being 'practical and highly accessible'. The range and depth of subject area included reflects the diverse knowledge and experience of the three authors and I would certainly recommend this book to any aspiring coach seeking to establish and succeed with their own coaching practice. - International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring, April 2006

...an enjoyable, easy read and highly recommended for anyone thinking of going it alone. - The Psychologist

One of a series of highly practical books providing an accessible guide to the business skills required to succeed as a self-employed coach... The book contains many valuable tips and opportun ities to reflect on the content and apply it to your own situation. - Network Review, Spring 2012
