You will find tips on getting started, what coaching qualifications you might need, how to make your mark in the corporate world to earn real executive coaching fees and how to avoid some of the most common traps to befall most coaches.

“Just read your book in one go. I wish I’d read it before I started my initial training!For me it was the no nonsense approach to is this right for you, and how do you make a success of coaching. So little is talked about making your business a success, and bluntly, if you don’t have any clients, the models aren’t much use! I’m delighted to say it confirmed my enthusiasm for coaching, but getting real about the challenges would have been invaluable early on.”

101 Coaching Supervision Techniques

Julia Menaul was one of many coach supervisors who contributed to the writing of this latest book on coaching supervision.

The book is available from Routledge 

Edited by Michelle Lucas

Julia wrote about two techniques that are personal favourites, that she uses frequently in her work with coaches and supervisors.

Her contribution to the section on eclectic approaches to coaching supervision (Chapter author, David Clutterbuck) was Number 4 page 14 “Building confidence: authority, presence and impact”

Her second technique was offered for the chapter headed up by Lynda Tongue a psychodynamic perspective: a developmental Transactional Analysis approach to coaching supervision which was co-written with Lynda and entitled “Handling relationship conflict using the drama triangle.” (Number 71 page 239)

“This has given me the exact 'recipe' I needed for using this concept in Supervision! Being in training as Coach Supervisor, I still prefer concrete ‘instructions’ when applying new concepts in Supervision. Therefore, Thank you SO very much! I am barely putting the book down as it is bringing so many pieces together for me! Really a fantastic and much needed resource, for ‘trainees’ like me but I would imagine, also for seasoned Supervisors.”

Drama Triangle

The Drama Triangle shows up in all areas of our work and life, and links to personal and professional development. An introduction to the book and concepts within it can be viewed on Julia's webinar below.

eBook available from Book Boon 

This book is aimed at professionals who have an interest in people development and/or organisational development. It is for leaders, line managers, human resource professionals, mentors, coaches and coaching supervisors.

It is an ideal starter for new coaches or managers to build up a tool kit of working models in order to develop a greater psychological element to their approach. The tools and techniques are simple to follow and can be used immediately.

"This is a superb read - the best I have seen on the Drama Triangle. Julia Menaul explains it in detail with lots of practical examples that really resonate. I'd say it's a must read for everyone in the coaching profession AND for anyone else who really wants to understand themselves and others in relation to the Drama Triangle - because it's everywhere! I'm recommending this to all the coaches and trainee coaches I know.

The energy that she brings to her facilitation and coaching is beautifully captured in this smart, focused and succinct guide to a critical competency needed in a VUCA world.
