A Beautiful Way to Coach presents an incredible perspective on a fresh and engaging method for coaching to reinvigorate the process and keep you and your clients striving for great results."

"This is a book for these changing times; a book that explores the new qualities of leadership that we need so much in the world today - courage, a growth mind set, the ability to ask quality questions and the willingness to take action and reflect. This is such an important book. I encourage all leaders and coaches to read it and to encourage others to do the same."

"When you walk beside someone on a learning journey, you engage so much better than walking behind or in front of them. Often the most powerful coaching happens when we leave chairs behind and venture into the great outside, where anything is possible!"

"I have completed 3 Vision Days in the last 6 years. They have all, without fail, propelled me along the path I needed to be on at that time and contributed measurably to my success. Creating a whole day, the space, the focus, the time in nature is an incredibly powerful tool and my personal secret weapon. I literally couldn’t have achieved what I have without Fiona and her Vision Day methodology and this book now shares these ideas more widely."
