"A coach needs to be able to touch people with new possibilities and bring wisdom, compassion, and humor to the issues and problems they face. The Handbook of Coaching provides a treasure trove of learning resources that you will be able to apply-practically and immediately - to a wide variety of personal and professional situations."
Robert Hargrove, author of Master Coaching and founder of R. Hargrove Consulting

"I was trained in Coaches Training Institute (CTI) and The Mobius Model. I read a variety of coaching books, and studied the nature of coaching as part of my doctorate. I founded a peer coaching program. I've also got numerous friends who are coaches. I may be an odd duck here, but it seems that what we (myself included) think are the best coaching models (or books) are often the most recent ones we experience, are trained in or read about. However, I do have one clear recommendation - read the book Handbook of Coaching by Frederic Hudson. It's one of the few books, if any, that really goes into the wide context of coaching. It gives you an overview of various types of coaching, the historical roots of coaching (this is an area that is too often overlooked) and great bibliographies about coaching in many areas. I think it's truly one of the 'foundation' books of coaching."
