Coaching for Resilience

This guide shows coaches, trainers, and consultants how to help clients build better resilience through seven keys, such as letting go of the need to be liked and in control, understanding that change is the only constant, understanding that life is difficult, and living in the present. They combine their ideas with those of individuals like Steven Covey, Daryl Conner, and Eckhart Tolle, and explain the principles of positive psychology; resilience and its origins and qualities; stress and how it undermines resilience; why it is important to build resilience; and underlying psychological dynamics that cause stress. Each chapter has exercises and case studies. Green, who has been a psychotherapist, counselor and therapist supervisor, and lecturer, and Humphrey, who advises employers on health and employment issues, work together at a UK consultancy specializing in workplace psychology and employee well-being.
