The answers lie withineach of those through whom so much can be achieved. This book isthe key to unlocking them."

"How much of your team's full potential do you see at work? 90%?30%? 60%? Many of us simply don't know. In a world of relentlesschange is it any wonder that so much can interfere with how well weperform at work. In a practical approach Matt Somers explores howcoaching can be used to release that potential. Matt recognisesthat the reaction in the work place to coaching can range from mildapathy to downright hostility. It is this firm grip on reality thatconsiderably increases the reader's chances of becoming asuccessful coach. In today's business environment ignore theprinciples and ideas embodied in this book at your peril!"
--Simon Hepinstall, Chief Executive, Storey Carpets Limited
"This is an extremely practical book underpinned by a powerfulcoaching model that is carefully defined and applied throughout.Matt's candid and insightful approach provides accessibleinformation for those new to coaching and those wanting to refinetheir coaching approach. There are number of coaching textsemerging onto the scene and it is refreshing to see a book sogrounded in managerial and organizational reality."
