Internal Coaching: The Inside Story provides a window into the world of internal coaching: the challenges and rewards for the coaches themselves and the ways in which organisations can ensure that they can get best value for money from their investment in them.

Internal coaching is booming yet there has been surprisingly little written about the unique nature of the internal coaching role. Drawing on the stories of hundreds of internal coaches, coach sponsors, lead coaches, supervisors of internal coaches and coach trainers, this book gives internal coaches a voice. Building on the success of the first edition, this brand-new edition offers an accessibly written mine of information for practitioners and academic researchers alike, incorporating many real-life examples of different practice, provided by internal coaches themselves, plus references to over 180 sources of relevant research.

Whether you're an experienced coach, a leader building a coaching culture within your organisation, or someone just beginning to explore this fascinating field, this book is here to support and inspire you.
