Review:

"Liz Hall expertly intertwines relevant theory, the latest thinking of leading academics and real-world practice to provide coaches with an essential guide for working with people facing challenging transitions.  Compelling, timely and inspiring!" (Dr. Christian van Nieuwerburgh Centre for Coaching and Behavioural Change, Henley Business School)

"To connect with so many real and relatable stories of people's triumph in almost impossible experiences caused to me to wonder what I would do in this situation.  Liz's research and references are comprehensive and it's an inspiring read I think most coaches would get something from." (Julie Starr Director, Starr Consulting)

"The generosity in the material that is shared, the power in the stories, the vulnerability and honesty in the case studies make this book an exciting and compelling read that brings you face to face with your own learning edge of working with crisis.  This book stretches the assumptions of what it means to coach." (Dr. Alison Whybrow Chartered Psychologist and Coach)
