“Both coaching and mentoring are undergoing radical evolution within the world of work, with attention shifting from modes of practice to more evidence-based approaches and the mental processes of these powerful forms of dyadic learning. This Handbook captures the wide range of psychological perspectives which can throw light on what happens in coaching and mentoring ― and hence improve practice.”―Professor David Clutterbuck, David Clutterbuck Partnership
“As the coaching profession matures, and its practitioners aspire to make significant changes in individuals and in society, it is more important than ever that we are familiar with the theoretical concepts and employ the evidence-based practices that have come to us through the discipline of psychology. This handbook fills an important gap, detailing psychological principles and practices as they apply to a wide range of current coaching strategies. Combining readability with solid psychological theory, this is an extremely valuable book for practitioners, academics, and coach trainers.”―Leni Wildflower, PhD, Wildflower-Consulting
“This wide-ranging and far-reaching volume spans the fields of coaching and mentoring with commendable depth and breadth. The chapters reflect the growing evidence base for coaching and mentoring, and are written by genuine experts in their respective fields.”―Almuth McDowall, PhD, University of Surrey
