Insight Guides
Henley Business School is a global leader in research and training for coaching and team coaching.
I have partnered with Henley to create a series of 5 insight guides based on the same case study as my book - Team Coaching for Organisational Development.
These short, snappy guides offer fresh insights and practical tips on some of the hottest topics in team coaching.

Leaders have a disproportionate influence on a team, , even within the most collaborative and self-directed environments.
