promoting performance, development and wellbeing in educational
settings. In this book he clearly articulates why this is important
and illustrates how it can be achieved through a range of case
studies. He skillfully describes key psychological theories and
practical coaching tools so that any practitioner can use them.

personal coaching experience for the reader however experienced, or
whatever their role within education.’ - Dr Jak Lee, educational
