“I’ve found the wisdom contained in these two books invaluable as I’ve navigated my first leadership roles. Truly practical, they’ve transformed the way I approach both leadership and management, resulting in positive changes in working relationships and true service improvement. I recommend them to anyone seeking to lead with empathy and purpose”
“don’t look back”
“Don’t Look Back” is a different sort of book.
It’s intended for anybody thinking of becoming an Executive Coach themselves. Or perhaps a Consultant. For anybody wondering what that journey might feel like.
It comprises:
a series of snapshots from Martin’s own journey as an Executive Coach since 2004, but also showing how the foundations for this journey were laid down much earlier
interviews with eight other Executive Coaches who have made different journeys, starting at different ages and from different backgrounds
a distillation of major themes from all nine stories.
“This is gold. I so wish I’d had this when I was getting started”
