Whether you are a coach or not, this book will be helpful to your growth and development as a human being. Review: Twice Born Leaders and Coaches - Taking the Profession to a New Level! - Pam McLean has provided the 'next generation' of critical insight into the field of coaching, never needed more than now in our current world. This is big work in our ever changing world and invites us all to become 'twice born leaders and coaches.' Her new book, 'Self as Coach, Self as Leader' takes the history, theory and development of Leadership/ Executive Coaching to a profound place of mindful attention to the 'self' in the process. What a wonderful culmination of the history of the field and understanding of self introduced in her previous book, the 'Revised Handbook of Coaching,' enhanced in this current book, the detailed self-awareness and depth and how that plays out in the role as Leader/Coach. Watching Pam from the early days of the formation of the Hudson Institute with her late husband Frederic, taking the organization and the field to a new level when he was diagnosed with Alzheimers, (here lies the first lesson of twice born leadership), providing direction and vision for the next phase of the organization, developing the first Coaching Supervision program, and continuing to grow and expand herself as a twice and thrice born leader, she models for us and stays true to her passionate commitment to a much needed contribution the coaching field. Her unselfish and dedicated work, brilliance and thoughtful knowledge of theory and approaches, is again extended through this work. I think that Pam's insightful, wealth of knowledge and experience, and addition of her own examples of her personal journey, describes the coach commitment to ongoing development and deep insight into one's self when entering and developing in this profession. This is a book for those that are passionate about coaching and see it as a calling, for leaders that love to lead, and for those that want to grow in their own self-awareness and understanding of their impact on others. As a coach, a leader, a developer of coaches, this should be part of the library and recommended reading for all coaching schools. Thank you Pam for your wisdom, sharing your vulnerable self, and your Leadership in the field for many, many years. Understanding the 'self' as the key 'tool' in coaching, simple, yet profound. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #244,424 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #253 in Business Mentoring & Coaching (Books) #389 in Human Resources & Personnel Management (Books) #2,090 in Leadership & Motivation | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (190) | | Dimensions | 6.2 x 0.9 x 9.1 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1119562554 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1119562559 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | May 21, 2019 | | Publisher | Wiley | ## Images ![Self as Coach, Self as Leader: Developing the Best in You to Develop the Best in Others - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61h90BVnvnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-read book! *by A***N on October 10, 2025* This is an incredibly well written book that truly helps the reader gain important insights into themselves.

Especially in this VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous), "the price of counterproductive leadership behavior is unimaginably costly and even the best of leaders face challenges that are daunting. The coaches equipped to successfully work with leaders in these changing times need nimbleness, understanding of complexities, ease with ambiguities, and deep familiarity with their own internal landscape." And while the intended audience is for full-time coaches, I found the information to be equally useful for any team leader. After all, they coach their team as well! McLean's premise is that today's coaches need to know themselves in order to be great coaches. Team leaders also need to know themselves in order to be great leaders as well. I started my journey of self-awareness with a business coach back in the mid-90's when I first started my business. I then did a bunch of training with the Landmark Forum. Since then, most of my self-discovery has been through discussions with mentors, friends and my post-divorce therapist. :-) Some books have been helpful, but this book far surpasses my expectations! McLean is an authority in coaching and has distilled her myriad years of practice into several models along with practical self-reflection exercises. Normally, I just buzz through a book and then come back (maybe) to do a few of the exercises. This book is different. After each chapter, I wanted to stop, reflect, do the exercises and then chat about it with my husband, Joe. I love the way the author takes a case and "applies heat" giving three different scenario/responses. Of course, you may intellectually gravitate toward the best answer, yet emotionally, you may respond differently.It's an intellectually and emotionally stimulating book - I highly recommend it if you want to increase your self-awareness and ability to coach and lead others. ## Frequently Bought Together - Self as Coach, Self as Leader: Developing the Best in You to Develop the Best in Others - The Completely Revised Handbook of Coaching: A Developmental Approach - Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/117326831-self-as-coach-self-as-leader-developing-the-best-in](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/117326831-self-as-coach-self-as-leader-developing-the-best-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
