The content and role of working have changed in significant ways as a result of new technologies and broader social and organisational changes. Work serves a range of purposes for individuals including recognition, influence, self-expression and self-fulfilment. Learning with Colleagues relates to personal development, enabling individuals to enter into a deeper relationship with colleagues to learn from them and with them. The book will be an important stimulus to creating a workplace learning environment.

This is the first serious, rigorous book about coaching which is deeply rooted in a long and varied therapeutical tradition and at the same time translates insights from that tradition into clear and crisp models for practical application in modern coaching practice. The book refers to well-known coaching approaches in business and devotes more attention than usual to internal coaching practices. It is a distinct, rigorous yet accessible guide to coaching approaches and practice.
