I love this text. I sat through the Cognitive Coaching training, and while I embraced the information and ideals, I can't say that I found many opportunities to implement the training in practice. I think this text helps make coaching practicable. -- Angela Becton, Advanced Learning Consultant, Kinston, NC It is a very interesting book that is very needed during this time.
