Routledge The Coaches' Handbook: The Complete Practitioner Guide for Professional Coaches

Covers new areas like AI in coaching while also focusing on the basics

This gives you everything to get your coaching qualifications

This is an excellent book, it’s very readable and provides enough depth in each chapter to give the reader a good understanding of the topic but doesn’t drown you in academic language. Highly recommended.

I was hoping for a handbook that would be a go to book to support my development as a coach and ths book seemed to fit th bill. On opening the forst few pages, I realised that I would verh likely avoid trying t read it as it is not only a thick and densely packed book, the text is far too small, badly printed (grey and not black) and takes a pedantic approach to explaining the various facets of coaching and the coaching business.It appears to be well structured with clear chapters and sections, but if you are looking for an engaging read which draws you in and is difficult to put down, this is not the book for you. I sent it back in the hope of finding a much better publication that will be helpful, rather than a weighty unopened addition to my bookshelf.
