“Coaching Skills is simply the one book I carry everywhere with me as I coach… It is realistic, honest, brilliantly readable, and as good to dip into as it is to read from cover to cover. Essential!” 

Stephen Page, Chair of Faber and Faber, UK

“Written in a clear, informative, insightful style and by an expert coach who has been there, seen it, done it and thought about it, this book will help you become an outstanding coach.”

Professor Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School and Senior Vice President of EZRA, UK




Coaching Skills is still as important as when it was first written twenty years ago and remains the authoritative text for both trainee and practising coaches. Now in its 5th edition, the book is substantially updated throughout while still written in Jenny’s unique voice and draws on her wealth of experience and expertise.

Practicalities and theory are both expertly covered: the book is brought to life through case studies and practical guidance, while also emphasizing the importance of underpinning psychological awareness and understanding.

This new edition includes:

•New chapters on trauma and relationships

•A brand-new chapter on identity and inclusion

•Substantial updates to reflect changes in technology and the coaching market

With up-to-date case studies and examples, this book will support you whether you are an experienced coach or a beginner taking your first steps on the journey to becoming a master practitioner. Coaching Skills gives real-life answers to the challenging questions that coaches face as they develop their coaching practice.
