"We liked the characters. They are easy to relate to, make it more real.'’
(Pauline Macafferty, North Lanarkshire Council)
 


‘I'm impressed with the production quality of the film and the booklet. It is an extremely realistic portrayal of coaching used in the workplace, and doesn't rely on one formula but advocates taking a coaching approach to situations. In this way I think it portrays more accurately how subtle coaching can be, and something to be used in all kinds of situations.‘'
(Celia Clark, OUP)
