Coaching for Resilience - by Adrienne Green & John Humphrey (Paperback)

About the Book

Many people are ill-equipped to deal with modern-day stressors, causing them to react as though they are being attacked. This book uses the principles of positive psychology to show coaches, trainers, and managers how to build greater resilience to pressure.

Book Synopsis

A recent report for the CIPD indicated that stress is now the more common cause of long-term sick leave in the UK for the first time ever. Demanding workloads and lack of job security are key stress factors, but in a tough, highly competitive environment these stressors are no longer avoidable. But you can learn how to cope with the stress effectively.
Coaching for Resilience is your practical guide to the principles of positive psychology. Using tried and tested techniques it will show you how to motivate and inspire your clients and yourself to build greater resilience. There are clear explanations of the principles of positive psychology throughout, with practical exercises and examples for ease of understanding. This comprehensive resource will help you develop a clear understanding of the psychology of stress and develop your own strategies to enhance resilience.
