What skills do I need to craft clear and effective coaching questions? How do I set goals for my clients? What do I need to be aware of when coaching with different personalities and facing mental health conditions?

The Coach's Casebook answers these questions and provides coaches with a thorough grounding in the knowledge, competencies, tools and techniques they need to coach employees to reach their full potential. This book also explains how these coaching tools and techniques apply in practice to boost personal development, performance and wellbeing.

Specific guidance on active listening, coaching high-performers and those with high-potential, leadership coaching, coaching minorities and underrepresented groups and how to coach challenging personalities is also given. This practical guide, is supported by case studies and scenarios throughout taking from real-life coaching, is for those new to coaching and those in the intermediate stages of their career.
