Its straightforward, easy-to-read style lays out an elegantly simple, effective, and agile coaching methodology. This will become a well-used (‘dog-eared,’ in the days before e-books) guidebook for both the new and the seasoned coach.” ― MARY BETH O’NEILL, author, Executive Coaching with Backbone and Heart “A welcome and comprehensive update of the original Handbook , this theoretically grounded, yet highly practical book presents important integrative coaching models that deal with complex coaching issues in an easy-to-read way. This book will be of use to novices and experienced coaches alike.” ― ANTHONY M. GRANT Ph.D., coauthor, Evidence Based Coaching Handbook ; faculty, University of Sydney “I love this book. Pam McLean offers the most comprehensive and clear explanation of use of self―why it is important and where we need to focus our attention―that I have ever read. In addition, she describes the robust Hudson coaching methodology clearly with lots of examples and always links theory to practice.” ― RICK MAURER , author, Beyond the Wall of Resistance ; faculty, Gestalt Institute of Cleveland “The new Handbook of Coaching is intellectually satisfying and pragmatically rich, a tour-de-force grounded in a thorough exploration of adult development and coaching models. This major rework of Hudson’s classic offers practitioners extensive guidance on coach methodology, the system dynamics of change, and the crucial use of self. Leadership coaches at any level will find this an invaluable resource.” ― DOUG SILSBEE , author, Presence-Based Coaching “With an emphasis on thoroughly understanding one’s self as a coach and supporting one’s clients to understand themselves, as well as their contexts, Pam’s book is very resourceful both practically and conceptually. Her very current real-life examples are insightful and useful.” ― EDIE SEASHORE , M.A., author, Triple Impact Coaching Review: A must-read for the conscientious coach - When the first edition of this book came out in 1999, the coaching profession was in its infancy. Now, a dozen years later, we're somewhere near the tween years. The field has grown, there are more practitioners (both good and less good), and coaching concepts and practices have spread throughout the private, government and nonprofit sectors, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. But we have a lot of room to grow. To achieve that, we coaches need intelligent, research-based books that show the path toward excellence in what we do. The completely revised "Handbook of Coaching" does just this. It really bears little resemblance to original volume, except perhaps in spirit. Whereas the original guide focused primarily on making practitioners aware of resources (appropriate for a field just starting out), Pam McLean's new version focuses on synthesis and challenge to excellence. Where does coaching come from? What research supports it? What does it have in common with other fields like positive psychology, adult learning, change theory, and organizational behavior? What major thinkers have influenced it? And most of all -- what works, and why? If two strengths of the coaching profession are passion and a willingness to experiment, two weaknesses of our field have been a flexible approach toward quality, and an unchallenged belief that a little bit of training is enough to get your career going. McLean's book challenges these weakness, by laying the skills that coaches need to keep developing and, in particular, how coaches need to manage themselves and attend to their ongoing learning. One special benefit of the book are detailed descriptions of frameworks and synopses of different approaches toward coaching. As soon as I got my copy, I dove in and read cover to cover but I know that will was just the first of many reads. The Handbook of Coaching will be on my shelf for many years to come.

Read this. . . now! *by B***A on October 5, 2012* As an executive coach working primarily with lawyers (a deep and challenging market!), I am always on the lookout for works that demonstrate solid intellectual underpinnings, a logical approach to helping clients and their organizataions create the change they want and need in their lives, a clear structure that lays the proper groundwork for change, and a learning tool that helps me be "bigger and better" in this still emerging field. (The Self As Coach segments are truly invaluable.) Dr. McLean's new work does all of that for me and I feel like I have read absolutely everything there is to offer. It is a zero tolerance approach to excellence in coaching laid out in a step by step process and an amazing review of the work of those upon whose shoulders modern coaching stands! I know that its intellectual depth will help my clients - all avid researchers at heart - see that the change they want (and need) can (and will) happen if together we are committed to following this well-structured approach (with a proven ROI) to adult learning and change. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Completely Revised Handbook of Coaching: A Developmental Approach - Self as Coach, Self as Leader: Developing the Best in You to Develop the Best in Others - Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8727363-the-completely-revised-handbook-of-coaching-a-developmental-approach-jossey](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8727363-the-completely-revised-handbook-of-coaching-a-developmental-approach-jossey) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
