The Psychology of Coaching, Mentoring and Learning
Chapter One
Introduction
This book is about the psychology of coaching, mentoring and learning. There are
many books about learning and mentoring; there are even more about coaching.
However, we believe that there is no single book that brings together the intersection
of these important, diverse and growing fields. The title of this book reflects our
valuing of diversity in the emerging discipline of coaching, and how it can be
enriched by continuously expanding, to include mentoring, while remaining grounded
in the solid foundation of the psychology of learning.
