'Coaching for Performance provides a foundation for those who want to understand the potential and power of coaching. The Sixth Edition is a must-read and a want-to-read; with updates, powerful case studies, and empirical evidence of coaching making a difference, having lasting impacts, and transforming societies.' Magdalena N. Mook, CEO, International Coaching Federation

An international bestseller, featuring the influential GROW model, this book is the founding text of the coaching profession. It explains why enabling people to bring the best out of themselves is the key to driving productivity, growth, and engagement. A meaningful coaching culture has the potential to transform the relationship between organizations and employees and to put both on the path to long-term success.

Written by Sir John Whitmore, the pioneer of coaching, this new edition has been fully revised by Tiffany Gaskell, Director at Performance Consultants, the global market leaders in performance coaching. This 6th edition has been updated throughout to reflect today's new world of work, and will revolutionize the traditional approach to organizational culture. Insightful real-world examples serve to champion inclusivity, alongside practical exercises which place an increased value on trust and responsibility. Critical new material has further been added to strengthen the process of measuring the benefits of coaching as a return on investment; all ensuring this contemporary new edition will remain at the forefront of professional coaching and leadership development.

'Timeless. The perfect handbook for you whether you're a new and aspiring manager or a seasoned leader, seeking to improve your team's performance levels. It is packed full of guidance on how to apply the GROW model to coaching high-performing teams within different scenarios, and comes with a helpful bank of coaching questions, dialogues, and a glossary.' Forbes

I have not finished the book but I want to earn interested readers in time. The first part of the book is all about how the world has become a better place since coaching was invented. The writers are very self absorbed and the quotes are stupidly 'sweet' to my taste. "Coaching, like a coach bus, is all about the journey". These kind of oneliners don't add any information to the story and more than anything make me want to throw up a little.

Overly sweet and self-absorbed

Save yourself sometime and skip the first 40 minutes, it’s just a plug for their coaching company. Also bizarrely it’s a non stop plug for the book??? I have already bought it you don’t need to sell it to me again!?

I suspect “Performance Consulting” bought the rights to this book and now have updated it with constant plugs to their own services. Hard to listen to or derive any useful information from this edition. Maybe previous editions were better but I’m going to find an entirely different book on the subject.

Just a long ad for a consulting firm
