Recover Your Balance
"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you." Arab proverb
Things go wrong at work. Often, you’ll shrug them off and carry on. Sometimes, though, what’s happening leaves you feeling diminished and off balance, and you may struggle to know how to bounce back.
When that happens, there’s nothing wrong with you, whatever you may think. You’re off balance. That's all. You can recover.
And Recover Your Balance can help.The book

Clients say:
"I have just been made a job offer, which I am going to accept, and feel that without you getting me back from the paranoia and loss of self confidence I was developing I would not have got here." Senior Manager, Healthcare.
"Ann coached me through a very stressful time; I was only capable of reacting and Ann helped me to take charge of my career again, and to focus on my goals and values. The fact that I came through it successfully is a testament to her skills. To have someone to turn to, who has no agenda other than one's own best interests was liberating." KP, Marketing Director.
(In a bullying environment) "… I felt very trapped and my usual approach to life i.e. making plans and taking action seemed to drift away from me… Ann helped me realise that I was trying to change myself to fit into the style of the organisation and the misery I was feeling was related to not being true to myself and my values. (Now) I think I would spot the signs a lot earlier and get out of the situation without worrying so much about what people would think of me." RH, HR Director.
"(When I came to coaching) I had about nine months of managing a series of extremely difficult situations at work... Whilst I was portraying a very capable, strong and efficient face in dealing with various issues, I was experiencing a very different reality...Over a period of five months, I was able to start thinking more objectively, take control of an increasingly 'out of control' situation, and gradually rebuild my confidence." Charity Senior Manager.
"Having an objective perspective on the problems, and separating my emotional response from my professional anxiety were really important." Charity Service Head.
