Coaching and Mentoring

Active in this area for over 20 years, including researching it when writing Transformational Mentoring – Creating Developmental Alliances for Organisational Cultures.  This was published in 1995 by McGraw-Hill (and republished by Sherwood in 1999). Much of what was written then is now also commonly referred to as coaching.

In 2001 this has been been updated and extended and published as Transformational Mentoring through Alliance Coaching   (www.sherwoodpublishing.com or see Amazon)

In 1992, established a network of HR professionals who were keen to know what others were doing; this group met regularly on a quarterly basis until end 2003 when the EMCC succeeded it.
