This book has become an angel on my shoulder- my go to for preparing for leadership coaching sessions. The book is packed with goodies The best way to read it is to take it in small chunks - select a leadership skill, read a few pages, let it digest, and then make it your own. This gets me grounded prepared. My favorite section SO FAR is the chapter on Stakeholder Management - a critical leadership skill. Rather then working from a blank page - Monica breaks down the complexity of the topic - with maps, powerful questions, and other tools that clients can embrace. Highly recommend! Make room on your desk for this one!!!

On behalf of my cousin Prasad who lives in India, I am posting his feedback on the book “The Complete Corporate Coaching Toolkit “ designed by Monica Jonsson. Since the print copy of this toolkit is not available on Amazon in India , I procured the same in USA. The review: The Complete Corporate Coaching Toolkit is indeed a ready reckoner ,rather a Bible and an Encyclopaedia for Aspiring/Practicing Coaches and Business Leaders to help coachees reflect,explore and experience Aaha moments as it is packed with a lot of exercises Hats off to Monica Jonsson for her painstaking efforts in chalking out an excellent curriculum comprising of 7 life changing topics touching every facet of the challenges the modern day leaders face ,helping them to identify their blind spots and in the process helping them to reinvent themselves through the well designed self reflective toolkits . If a leader were to get an aerial view of his/her map of life ,then this toolkit will help him/her to identify the grey areas and ,thereupon ,the coach through an interactive process will help such leaders/coachees to to make these grey areas look more green. Monica Jonsson, through this toolkit of hers is indeed a Messiah for coaches who will be able to effectively co partner with the coaches/leaders to put them on a truly empowering and transformative journey!

This Coaching Toolkit is remarkably practical and clearly structured, addressing key topics such as self-awareness, leadership styles, emotional intelligence, effective communication, and stakeholder management. Monica offers actionable strategies and reflective exercises that I've found immediately applicable in real-life scenarios—helping me navigate challenging leadership transitions and enhancing my effectiveness at work. What I particularly love about this toolkit is Monica's authentic, engaging writing style and the easy-to-follow format, making complex leadership topics accessible to readers at any stage of their career. This is not just another theoretical leadership book; it's a hands-on guide that equips you with the tools you need for meaningful growth. Monica Jonsson truly delivers a "quintessential guide" for anyone committed to personal and professional excellence. Thank you, Monica, for sharing your wisdom with us!

Un manuale colmo di chiare indicazioni per rinnovare, modernizzandolo, il proprio approccio alla leadership e per l’efficace utilizzo dei cd. soft skill (comunicazione, controllo dell’emotività, gestione degli stakeholder, capacità di influenzare e negoziare, efficacia ed efficienza professionale e, non da ultimo, equilibrio tra vita privata e professionale). Oltre alla descrizione di elementi determinanti per raggiungere obiettivi di carriera non compatibili con approcci dirigistici ed obsoleti, vi ritroviamo consigli utili per alimentare il proprio carisma nonché per insegnare, a nostra volta, come esercitare la leadership ed utilizzare i propri soft skill.

I have used this book to help guide my personal growth both personally and professionally. It has been extremely helpful as I recently transferred into a new role with a larger number of both direct and indirect reports. The book gives you a powerful framework both to help yourself and others. In particular I found the overall structure and the organization of the book encourages you to identify the correct tool and allow you to get back and extract it for the use in the specific situation.

I purchased this book after an MCC coaching colleague of mine raved about it. When I looked at it, it was easy to see what she was raving about. In the past, when I've been coaching executives in the corporate space, it would have been VERY useful to have a book full of resources like this on hand. Also, now, as a leader myself, the exercises are very useful personally, too. I would recommend this book for coaches who are experienced in, new to or considering entering corporate coaching. I would also recommend it to any leader who wants to develop their leadership capacity.

I have become incredibly discerning regarding the books I both read and recommend to others, especially about executive coaching, and leadership. It is always refreshing to find book that is both useful for the coach and for the clients they are working with. The Complete Corporate Coaching Toolkit is one such book. The book is designed for both professional coaches and executives who may prefer their own developmental route. In either case the reader will benefit from the wealth of information contained within the pages. Although described as a toolkit, this could easily be described as a field book too. The first part of the book looks at the fundamentals of coaching before moving onto the key elements of the toolkit itself. Looking at many of the most important aspects of executive coaching/development and leadership, including emotional intelligence, effective communication, leadership, teams, and stakeholder management to name but a few, the book provides both an overview and a range of exercises for development. Each of these is well explained and allows the reader or facilitator to utilise the exercises and activities for the benefit of themselves or their clients. I found the use of colour throughout the book to be incredibly refreshing as well as making for an easier read. Graphics are well explained and the use of quotes throughout the book provides additional food for thought. There are also blank pages for completion of exercises as well as gathering your own thoughts and feelings. The appendix section provides additional questions that can be used in a coaching engagement and the resources section includes a link to download the tools from the book, though this is a subscription option. The copy that I reviewed was a hardback edition and I would certainly recommend to my clients purchasing the paperback version, simply for ease of use. If I had one request for the 2nd edition, it would be the inclusion of an index. If you are an executive or leadership coach or if you are looking to develop your management, leadership, and executive skills, then I would recommend this book to you.
