Editorial Reviews

"Every coaching client is a person undergoing change - even if they are not fully aware of how radical that change is. The role of coach is evolving from coaching individuals to coaching individuals within their systems, to coaching the systems themselves. A substantial change-related toolkit is essential for coaches and that's what this book provides."

Practice Lead at Coaching and Mentoring Internatio Professor David Clutterbuck

"The world needs more people that combine organizational, team and individual change. Sue Noble and Amy Tarrant, provide a very practical and informative book to help those facilitating Organizational change understand how they can utilise coaching to support the process."

Chairman Renewal Associates Professor Peter Hawkins Ph.D.

"This is it ... a practical and thoughtful formula for organizational advancement and impact! It's the first business-related book that I have read during my 40-year career that is truly a page-turner. It seamlessly integrates two timely, timeless and must-master success topics - coaching people and change. Through relevant and global examples, strategies and use-them-now tools, the authors expanded my mindset and toolkit around change and continuous improvement today. By giving us the What? So what? and Now What? regarding the drivers, opportunities and challenges around change, it's a blueprint for engagement and action. It's an essential read for advancing companies that want to leverage their human capital technology and build for sustainable change."

Hina Shavdia

"Coaching generates engagement, puts responsibility and authority with others and enables high performance. It's fundamental to successful change. This comprehensive and profound book makes this case and gives the reader the practical directions to get on with the job. It will be a bible and handbook for anyone concerned with delivering large scale change."

Myles Downey

"Coaching People Through Organizational Change impressively uses the brain science of Emergenetics® as a vehicle to more effectively navigate change. This connection, lucidly explained, is the gap that this book fills in the workplace. It is clear, pragmatic and therefore powerful, in helping people to be more effective at work."

David Sales

"Organizational Change is all about producing benefits and you can't do this without individual change. This book brings humanity, care and respect to those experiencing organizational change through the use of coaching in a way most Organizational Change books have not. It's about time change was made more humane in organizations and this is the book to start the journey."
