Unabridged? Important Appendix Missing
Great book but the appendix, which lists fantastic questions, was missing.
Luckily, I'd bought the paper copy or I'd have completely missed out on the list of questions, which are very helpful.
It would have been useful to play those questions in the car to help embed them, but the Audible version doesn't have them. A missed opportunity, especially as the book is supposed to be unabridged.

Great coaching advice for novice leaders and managers
There’s so much here to take in, definitely worthy of a 2nd read. I’m a big believer in the value of coaching and there is some useful guidance re how to approach, what types of questioning to use and exemplar conversations you may have.
A bit of a struggle to listen to in the car as I wanted to take notes throughout! The sign of a great audiobook.
Thank you

Hard to stay engaged...
This book has some good, solid advice about coaching and leading. However, overall the audiobook is incredibly dull to listen to. I found myself completely drifting off into other lines of thought regularly whilst listening. Example scenarios of conversations are particularly dull and really don't need the person's name saying before each sentence - listeners can tell it's a different character due to a change in tone/voice! I also don't think I bookmarked anything during this book as it repeats concepts discussed in other books around the same topic. In short...far too much rambling!

Coaching Leadership Gold
This is not simply a book. It is a transformational development programme and anyone in any form of management position, or with aspirations of getting there, and who want to become LEADERS must RSVP. Read, Study, Visualise and Perform it’s teachings. I urge all in Arun Estates to buy and apply. It will transform the way you handle people, how you coach and develop them and you will rise to the top of the tree! And you will be able to do so without ever having to ‘criticise, condemn or complain’ towards those you are developing - you will be in the arena of changing people’s lives!

Mind opening, habit-inertia challanging
As most public materials on this field, the content is highly diluted in anectodes and filler words and expressions. They might however, help, as they keep your mind hovering on the matter while going through the "exemple story" . The first half is highly mind opening and mind-habit challanging. Really good to change your mind from the passive "do it like this or you are wrong" approach to learning to the "what is valuable to you? what meaning and importance does it have to you personally" . A way to get involved and feel in control of your own training in the first place. To actually own and be in control in your education and way of thought research, no matter the field. A very handy tool to have for your own life.
