The Coaches Book Club
The Coaches Book Club was formed in 2019 and is now in its fourth year. It is free to attend and open to all coaches who would like to connect online with like-minded people to explore and discuss coach-related books.
The group’s purpose is:
- To provide focus on reading and learning from coach-related reading material
- A source of structured CPD
- Connect and network with other coaches
We have discussed a wide range of popular and lesser known books about (or loosely related to) coaching, including during 2022 the following:
- Connected – Nicholas A Christakis & James H Fowler
- Behave – Robert Sapolsky
- Hope in a Corner of My Heart – Gina Campbell
- Thinking Fast & Slow – Daniel Kahneman
- Oneness With All Life: Find your inner peace – Eckhart Tolle
- The Listening Coach – Jane Adshead-Grant
- The Promise That Changes Everything: I Won’t Interrupt You – Nancy Kline
- The Transformational Coach: Free Your Thinking and Break Through to Coaching Mastery – Clare Norman
We meet on the third Wednesday of every month, alternating between lunchtime and early evening sessions.
The last session for 2022 is on:
- Wed 21 Dec 6.30pm – open discussion

What people are saying:
Isabela shared a quote by Karl Lagerfeld which she felt was very relevant to the group:
“For every book you buy, you should buy the time to read it.” Karl Lagerfeld

“Great first meeting of the new book club group for coaches. I enjoyed meeting other members and discussing our favourite reads and would recommend joining.”
More information
The plan is that this group will become self-organising and self-sustaining. So active participants will be expected to suggest / recommend books for the group and occasionally host the sessions.
