About the Author: Sir John Whitmore

Sir John Whitmore pioneered the performance coaching industry after recognizing how valuable his coaching methods could be beyond the sports arena. After retiring from professional racecar driving, he spent years developing the “performance coaching” method, eventually starting Performance Consultants – the first leadership and business coaching consultants. He developed the GROW method of coaching and launched the coaching industry as we know it. He died in 2017, a few months after the 25th edition was completed.
