"I’m blown away – truly it is a wonderful piece of work. It’s incredibly comprehensive yet laid out in a completely digestible format. The headings, phases and summaries are clear, and the switching between actions and decisions, and back again, really makes it easy for the reader to use the book as a pragmatic support in real-time.

It is beautifully laid out, making it easy to read in bite-size (‘snackable’) pieces, but what’s really clever is that if the reader flicks onto something that particularly interests them, they are drawn to keep reading through the quality and (don’t take this the wrong way) the simplicity of the language, and the logical flow of the strategies you outline.

For me the smartest aspect is how your headings and categorisations point the reader directly at the coaching questions they can prepare and ask at every stage of the journey and for every leadership event or intervention they create (and you’re also clear in what those events and interventions should be). And I love the tips and templates in the Appendices. You really have provided everything a leader needs.     

Finally what really ultimately sets this book apart is that it does not contain typical corporate-speak, rather it is a very personalised curation of your advice based on your personal experiences, beliefs and learnings. It is the highly personal nature of the writing that makes it so readable.  

I know of no other book that competes with this, and it deserves to be given to / ready by every senior leader."
