'This sophisticated yet accessible book elegantly connects the fields of neuroscience, organisational theory, coaching and transformational learning. Using metaphors from organisational life to explain the workings of the brain, coaches and their corporate clients will be able to harness the immense potential of the science of brain functioning and its implications for personal and professional growth. As coaching matures as a profession this book stands to make a significant contribution to sharpening and refining coaching practice, rooted in sound principles derived from the field of neuroscience.'
Simon Cavicchia, Joint Programme Leader MSc Coaching Psychology and MA Psychological Coaching, Metanoia Institute, London
'Executive coaching as an emerging discipline is often perceived as an eclectic blend of multidisciplinary techniques. What is needed is a framework that does justice to the complexities of organisational life and to leadership. Dr Azmatullah's work is precisely that: it provides a pioneering and comprehensive framework which firmly anchors executive coaching in the workings and intricacies of the human mind. The work is timely and comes highly recommended.'
