Coaching Psychology

Most books on coaching and business focus on surface-level actions like list building, client generation, and marketing. This book, however, recognizes that unless you address the deepest, most unconscious “shadow” layers of your operating system, you will self-sabotage your growth at every level. Your shadow is composed of your fears, old trauma, and insecurities. It’s the reason why most business owners struggle to stand out, attract ideal clients, and create consistent revenue.

It is very rare as an adult to find a place where you are not judged, where you can be open, honest and vulnerable: that is exactly what coaching provides. This book brings together 20 different stories that represent the very human dilemmas a coach can encounter.

Emotionally intelligent people are open to new experiences, can show feelings adequate to the situation, either good or bad, and find it easy to socialize with other people and establish new contacts.

By grappling with these truths, which cut to the very core of who they are as human beings, head coaches can get out of their own way and achieve all-new levels of personal performance.

This book is packed with practical exercises that will have an immediate impact on your emotional well-being and, ultimately, your performance.

Les écrans, la peur du risque, la diminution des espaces verts... Nos enfants, qu'ils résident en ville ou à la campagne, sont toujours plus coupés de la nature. Pour cause : en France, celle-ci n'est pas pensée comme prioritaire dans l'éducation. Partout dans le monde, des chercheurs affirment pourtant le contraire. L'accès régulier à la nature pourrait bien être une réponse à la situation alarmante que nous traversons, au mal-être infantile qui augmente, au niveau des enfants qui baisse, notamment en lecture, et aux capacités de concentration qui déclinent.
