Want to know how your executive clients feel during coaching? This book is a practical guide for any coach and coach trainer who wants to hear the voices of leaders as they convey what is valuable to them when moving into a new role. This book provides a framework for practising coaches who want to understand the impact of coaching on leaders as they transition. The framework is grounded in research that reflects the practice and real-life experiences of several leaders. This book also provides insight to leaders, where specific topics may resonate as they reflect on the progress of their own transition.

In today's dynamic, ever-changing and uncertain environment, this book blends academic and practical insights to explore how coaching can support transitions to leadership roles.
