Gill Smith, former UK Chair, Association for Coaching; partner in The Brain@Work"These times are having a profound effect upon the wellbeing of employees across all sectors. This is played out in the rising incidence of depression and anxiety in the workplace. Coaching and the role of coaches have become even more critical. People need someone to speak to as they learn to become more resourceful in the world we confront today. More coaches need to view wellbeing as a key driver of performance and thus develop their skills and knowledge to be able to coach for enhancing the energy of employees and line managers, not just the traditional approach of addressing skills, knowledge and behaviours. Hetty Einzig's book is a wonderful illustration of the changing role coaches can and must play." - Geoff McDonald, Former Global VP HR Unilever; Director, Open Minds Health; global advocate and campaigner against stigma towards mental health in the workplace
