Product Description
The Coaching at Work Toolkit is the first comprehensive, practical resource for aspiring, novice and experienced coaches in the use of the theories, tools, techniques and practices that affect learning and change. This resource book is a priceless toolkit of validated coaching tools and psychology-based techniques. It is also a much needed guide to understanding the practice of coaching and applying the theories and language associated with it.

The employment of life skills coaching, executive coaching and business coaching is being heralded as the way to create organizations of the future. Anyone interested in achieving their best and staying ahead of the competition should read this book. Through the use of case studies, practical instructions and application guidelines, the authors have provided models, principles and techniques that enable professional coaches to achieve breakthrough results.

This book builds upon the success of the authors' first general coaching reference 'The Complete Guide to Coaching at Work'. This best-selling title, packed with case studies, details step-by-step: the elements and nature of coaching, coaching in the workplace, areas of application, coaching frameworks and the competencies of successful coaches.

For the past ten years the authors, first as practitioners and then as educators, have worked closely with colleagues across the globe to develop coaching techniques that produce positive, measurable lasting change.

Suzanne Skiffington, BA, MCP, MAPS, MASH, PhD in Clinical Psychology and Perry Zeus, BA, Fellow VAAR have trained hundreds of coaches around the world. Through their internationally renowned coach training school, 1 to 1 Coaching School, they have worked with established and new coaches, professionals and manager/leaders of organizations, consultants, groups and the academic community.

About the Author
Suzanne Skiffington is a trained clinical psychologist and business coach.

Perry Zeus has been an executive corporate coach, management consultant and management trainer for more than 15 years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, October 29, 2003
By Colin (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
I was unimpressed by this so-called "complete guide". One of those books you buy, read once, then never look at again. Several months later I haven`t touched my copy since I read it on the day I bought it; says it all really.

I find it difficult to understand the target market for this book. It is neither advanced enough to satisfy a serious practitioner nor is it suitable for a beginner.

Complaints: while it does contain a range of techniques, there`s nothing new, or surprising, or even interesting. It certainly isn`t complete. The words ego trip spring to mind.

If you have some knowledge of coaching I would suggest there are plenty of other books that might be a more worthwhile purchase.

I like Tim Gallwey`s most recent book - Inner Game of Work, James Flaherty`s book on Coaching: evoking excellence in others, is also worth a look. Also books like The Psychology of Executive Coaching - Bruce Peltier could be useful.

Anyway of the 25 or so books on coaching I`ve read, Toolkit isn`t one of the better ones.

3.0 out of 5 stars good basic overview of simple coaching approaches, March 18, 2006
This a useful book which - although not a complete "toolkit" by any means - does provide a useful overview, and the beginning coach will find this helpful.

I found the authors' continuing hard-sell of their own training programs more than a little wearisome. After all, I paid for a book - not a sales pitch. Far too much ego in places, but still worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for new and established coaches, April 10, 2006
This book is a remarkably comprehensive resource for coaches. This great book examines the nature of change as well as the role of the coach as a change agent. It clearly articulates the stages of the coaching process. There is a wealth of assessments, profiles and numerous practical coaching tools. The authors (internationally renowned coach trainers) also discuss the role of the coach's personality, coaching techniques and how to use them range from self-awareness exercises, problem-solving techniques and journalling. It is research-based, thorough and very readable. Highly recommended!.
