Product reviews for Mastering Mentoring and Coaching with Emotional Intelligence

Whether you're a new coach/mentor or looking to raise your game this book will support you well. Not only does it cleverly reinvigorate existing coaching and mentoring practise, it also flags up areas of critical importance for individuals and businesses for the coming decade. It lucidly ties together the benefits of performance, work-life balance and vision and mission alignment for organisations and individuals. It reaches into a zone outside the current thinking of many organisations. The final chapter, “The mentoring and coaching treasure chest is just that”; a rich source of ideas to move your coaching and mentoring to higher levels.

The authors really have clarified the complexities and brought to the fore, the subtleties of mentoring and coaching. Not many books capture the cerebral, the emotional and the practical of coaching and mentoring. This one does admirably. Merlevede and Bridoux have managed to dot the “i's” and cross the “t's” and still given us the bigger picture on improving performance and improving lives.
