"Coaching is a powerful method that can be used to facilitate the achievement of business and personal goals of owners, directors and staff in a family business. However, the first step is to ensure that coaches, coaching psychologists and other practitioners in the field have reflected upon how they can support the business through coaching. In this book each chapter highlights practical activities and recommendations for developing effective coaching practices. The case studies help to provide the link between the theory and practice of family business coaching. This book will enhance reflective practice of the coach and facilitate change in their client groups" — Prof. Stephen Palmer, PhD, Centre for Coaching, London
"This book is an important resource for the personal and professional development of coaches and coaching psychologists, as well as an excellent guide for family business coaching interventions. There is a core focus on learning from practice, which is demonstrated as having equally high relevance to the coach and their client. The use of case studies, key questions and practice related material and exercises contribute to the creation of a very practitioner friendly book" — Mary Watts, PhD, CPsychol, emeritus professor of Psychology, City University London; Business Coach Programme director, Meyler Campbell, London
