THE AUTHOUR AND TRAINER
Professor David Clutterbuck is one of the few remaining early pioneers of coaching and mentoring, having first written on the subject in the late 1970s. His book, Coaching the Team at Work (revised edition released March 2020), was the first to take an evidence-based approach to team coaching. One of the two original founders of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, the longest-established body in the field, he is visiting professor of coaching and mentoring at four universities – Henley Business School (Reading), Sheffield Hallam, Oxford Brookes and York St John. He is author, co-author or co-editor of some 70 books, including the forthcoming Practitioner’s Handbook of Team Coaching. David is practice lead for Coaching and Mentoring International, a 40-country consortium of researcher-trainer-consultants in mentoring and coaching. He is an EMCC accredited EIA Master Practitioner, EMCC ESIA Master Practitioner and EMCC IPMA accredited Master Practitioner. His current research interests include transitions towards coach maturity, the role of artificial intelligence in coaching and a project to create five million school-age coaches and mentors globally
