All Ways Coaching challenges education to think bigger about coaching. Not as another leadership initiative, one-off programme or skill reserved for a select few, but as a powerful way to change how entire school communities communicate, develop and grow.
Drawing on Nicholas McKie’s extensive international experience across education, leadership and professional coaching, the book explores what it really takes to move beyond developing individuals and build a sustainable coaching culture.
Practical, thought-provoking and deliberately challenging, All Ways Coaching is for teachers and school leaders who aren’t interested in simply doing more of the same. It’s for those ready to question convention, invest differently in their people and create cultures where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
“This is a brilliant book for leaders and stakeholders in any school. Coaching plays a big role in developing team work. After reading this book, school leaders will understand the importance and significance of coaching. A must read!.”
