Neenan clearly and succinctly presents an overview of what resilience really means and how coaches can help their clients develop and enhance their own resilience. By focusing on skills including asking for help, developing self-belief, managing negative emotions and maintaining a resilient outlook, Neenan leads coaches through the process of bringing resilience into their sessions, from a cognitive behavioural perspective. The book includes a description of a five-session course of resilience coaching which includes simplified dialogue between the coach and the client, and commentary by the author. It also includes case studies and accessible examples throughout.
