You'd be amazed (or maybe not) how many clients in career coaching have never pondered on the influences that led to their particular profession. What did you dream of as a child? What did your parents want you to do? In my latest e-book for Bookboon, Happiness at Work, I include a section on Childhood Messages.

Further to the sad news of the death of fellow coach, Diane Hanna I thought it might be fitting to share the case study she wrote for myself and Maggie João, MCC in "Coaching and Supervising Through Bereavement: A Practical Guide to Working with Grief and Loss". The topic seems apposite now, and that Diane was able to share her experiences of a good deal of personal loss and how that informed her coaching. How much her words resonate our own sense of loss at her passing.

My latest short e-book for Bookboon is "Happiness at Work" and unlike my other books for them this one is for the general public and is useful for new starters, mid-lifers and retirees. Bookboon e-books can be read in 2-3 hours.

This book is about finding lasting happiness at work based on latest research. It is distinctly suitable for new starters on the career ladder and those approaching a midlife crossroads in any sector.
