Reviews for Coaching with the Brain in Mind: Foundations for Practice
"...Selten habe ich bei einem Buch den Aufbau dermaßen transparent und hilfreich erlebt...So bietet das Buch einerseits ein Coaching-Kompendium...Aber andererseits ist die starke Betonung der Neuroplastizität dann doch auch verdienstvoll ? und für die Coaching-Praxis jedenfalls eminent wichtig!...Ein Handbuch vom Anfang bis zum Ende.
