"Coaching has grown exponentially over the last decade, and coaches are in need of professional development as much as their clients. Dr. McCormick's book is a step-by-step approach for professional development for coaches using 'reflective practice'. It is a very well written, well-organised and an easy to follow guide to help coaches develop their coaching skills as they discover more about themselves from the experience of their practice. This is a 'must buy' book for anyone engaged in coaching." Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE, University of Manchester, UK "Without adaption, we atrophy. Without learning, we never improve. Without reflection, we minimize learning from our experiences.

Through this marvelous trip-tik of various approaches and models of coaching and psychotherapy, McCormick raises crucial distinctions in practice that can help clients. As professionals, coaches and therapists are paid for their time. Such performance pressure often suppresses reflective practices. This book helps to remind us what can help." Richard Boyatzis PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University, USA, Co-author of the international best seller, Primal Leadership and the breakthrough book on the latest research on coaching called Helping People Change." "Reflective practice is essential for coaches' development and good practice, and it is becoming a recognised domain of expertise in its own right. This book explores a good range of definitions, approaches and tools, offering the right balance between theory and practice. It also provides a wide range of tools and exercises, inviting readers to try different techniques and challenge their thinking and practice.

As an academic, researcher and coaching psychology practitioner and supervisor, I highly recommend this valuable book for trainee and professional coaches and supervisors." Dr Andrea Giraldez-Hayes, chartered psychologist and director of the MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at the University of East London. "Reflective practice is essential for coaching practitioners. It helps us learn and develop our skills, knowledge and understanding as we join our coachees on their coaching journey. Dr Iain McCormick's workbook is packed with techniques, case studies and reflective practice exercises. It is an excellent step by step guide to enhance reflective practice of both trainee and experienced coaches." Stephen Palmer PhD, Professor of Practice at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, and Director of the National Academy of Coaching Psychology Ltd.
