The essence of A Coach's Journey is to discuss lessons from leadership, conflict and the challenges of elite coaching and to present my learnings from those experiences. Considered typical norms of professional coaching will challenge the reader as I reflect on real career experiences in professional coaching. Success and failure are discussed as consequences of far-reaching emotional responses that have impacted my personal and professional well-being. This is a "warts and all" look at key moments, actions and associated misgivings of decisions. Those coach decisions have been presented as critical to personal and career development, while the organisation has been challenged, on their part, in terms of their compassion and the ownership of those outcomes. Both amateur and professional coaches will benefit from this book that presents the diverse scope of coaching, applied learnings and their part in your coach development.
