The Coaching Manual

I ordered the kindle version of this book and few of the pages aren't opening (129 -145) & (321 to 364) and a few other pages too. Please check and let me know how and when it could be fixed Giving it a 3 star rating for the errors in the kindle version. Appreciate a rectification of errors.

Well written and interesting

valuable read, new book, quick delivery

Julie’s book differs from others in that it takes a hands-on approach to developing your understanding of coaching, through both practical exercises and time spent reflecting on what has been learnt from the process. The content is anchored in solid knowledge and research findings, but is presented in a down-to-earth manner that is user-friendly and is straightforward to understand & apply. Most definitely a coaching resource and guide that you’ll want to keep returning to, time after time, whether you are an absolute beginner, recently-qualified or experienced coach! Access to free digital resources and support materials enhances the books’ usefulness, too. Absolutely recommended for a prime spot in any coaches own learning library! Julie also has a similarly useful Mentoring Manual, which may be of interest as well, if you are taking a Level 5 or 7 course in Coaching & Mentoring.

N'étant pas anglophone mais avec quelques notions malgré tout j'ai beaucoup apprécié la lecture de cet ouvrage. Il a un côté pratique et fonctionnel si l'on est intéressé par le coaching ou bien encore si l'on est coach sois même. Sans partir dans des choses extravagantes l'auteur revient notamment sur un élément majeur dans tous les métiers d'accompagnement : créer un lien fort entre coach et coaché. A mon sens un ouvrage essentiel quelque soit son niveau de pratique.

I discovered Julie Starr’s books (Brilliant Coaching, The Coaching Manual, and The Mentoring Manual) while searching for resources to train volunteers at a nonprofit, and they exceeded every expectation. Julie Starr is a true authority in coaching and mentoring, and her writing reflects her vast experience. These books are not only robust and comprehensive, but they also cut through superficial advice, getting to the heart of what makes coaching, mentorship, and leadership truly effective. They didn’t just help us build strong coaching and management frameworks—they completely transformed how I approach relationships and conversations. I’ve become a better listener, and it’s significantly improved how I connect with others. If you’re serious about understanding coaching, mentorship, and improving leadership and communication, these books are an absolute must-read.
