This guidebook presents readers with a thorough, practical and straightforward framework for understanding the process and value of executive coaching. Dr. Battley dispels the misconceptions surrounding this new and exciting professional development service. Anyone considering hiring a coach for him/herself or someone that he/she supervises will be able to make a more informed decision by reading this book.

The perfect introductory coaching guide for most of us
Battley's book is a concise overview of business coaching and its practical applications. She addresses the most commonly heard opinions and beliefs about coaching in terms of "coaching myths." This is the perfect book for those who are curious or skeptical about the bottom-line benefits of coaching. It's also one of the few guides written about business coaching for the lay person rather than for human resources folks or professional coaches. Hooray!
