In this new and accessible text, du Toit examines the transformational power of coaching and challenges given assumptions about the field by subjecting the received wisdom to reflection and scrutiny. Unlike other books about coaching, Making Sense of Coaching examines the process of coaching rather than its techniques and goals. The text addresses issues such as the problematic relationship between coach and coachee in business coaching when the explicit goal is to improve individual performance within an organisation. The process of coaching is looked at in detail, as sensemaking helps the coachee to create meaning and storytelling encourages self-reflection. Through discussion of the coaching relationship, the text goes on to look at the coaching experience as a type of transformational learning, in which the individual is guided through a journey of discovery and revelation. Theories are drawn together in a fresh and original way which will cause readers to question how coaching should be defined and practised. This book is both scholarly and accessible. The author does not flinch from addressing deep theory, and, at the same time, is grounded in well developed practice. This book is a steady launch pad for anyone wanting to move beyond techniques and models of coaching and enter into an exploration of the basis for practice. -- David Megginson 20130926 'A timely, unique and valuable resource that fills a knowledge gap in the more advanced coach education. Angelique dares to challenge and go beyond tools and techniques because she understands the fundamentals of what underpins excellent coaching practice.' -- Rose Schofield 'This is a timely and appropriate contribution to the developing literature on coaching. It is written in an accessible and engaging style and with a strong sense of the underpinning research which clearly guides the writing. I particularly enjoyed the social constructionist and critical arguments which influence this work. This work offers much to think about and Dr du Toit is to be congratulated.' -- Bob Garvey
