"I'm impressed that these authors have a process that takes coaching that extra mile. Leaving skills with the Coach, so that they can offer their experience to others, is a savvy way to begin to truly embed coaching into the culture of an organization. This is a refreshing, relevant and practical model and one which is very necessary for these times."
