Exploring the FACTS Model in Practice

This e-book brings together over fifty short posts written following the publication of ‘Challenging Coaching’. These were originally published as practitioner reflections — field notes rather than musing on theory — shaped by live coaching practice, leadership conversations, speaking engagements, wide reading, and the steady discipline of testing ideas against reality.

Lessons from Boardroom Coaching

While the original ‘Challenging Coaching’ book presented the FACTS model as a coherent framework, this e-book reveals the thinking in motion. It captures how ideas emerged, evolved and matured through contact with real organisational systems and diverse human complexity. It reveals a practice less concerned with neat answers and more interested in what could be learnt from applying the FACTS model in practice.

John Blakey Round 2 (8 of 13)

Challenging Coaching is built on a simple belief: leaders grow when coaches combine genuine support with thoughtful challenge. When the relationship is strong enough to explore difficult truths, coaching moves beyond reflection and becomes transformational — helping leaders think differently, act more decisively and lead with greater confidence.
