This is a definitive, seminal book on coaching, stripping away the hype, jargon and mystery to give coaching a definitive definition in all its forms across both business and personal agendas. This book explains without being patronizing; define without being arrogant, with the fun, the practical stories and the power being with the reader. The Naked Coach defines the grey areas around coaching - namely, mentoring, training, facilitation and interventions of every kind. The book is written in a similar style to The Naked Leader in which readers can choose their own personal journeys. Uniquely, the reader will find themselves being coached in coaching as they read the book, enabling them to put into fast, practical reality what they are learning and reading.
