Coaching Through Burnout is a practical guide for leaders (and their teams) to equip themselves with the skills and strategies needed to navigate the growing epidemic of chronic workplace stress. Business Psychologist Hazel Anderson-Turner offers a unique, evidence-based approach to addressing the topic of burnout after years of coaching leaders and teams in the public sector. The book is divided up into three clear sections: the first section shares Hazel's own story of burnout, offering readers an intimate look at the challenges she faced as an ambitious, high-achieving professional navigating the demands of work and motherhood. Hazel's candid account will resonate with many professionals who have struggled to maintain a healthy work-life balance and found themselves on the brink of burnout. The middle section of the book introduces Hazel's 'Coaching Through Burnout' course framework, which equips leaders with practical communication skills and strategies to support their teams. Through clear communication and collective boundary-setting, Hazel aims to empower leaders and organisations to cultivate a culture of wellness and resilience. In the final section of the book, Hazel shares her expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to outline three key personal skills that can help individuals better manage the critical inner voice and overwhelming demands that often contribute to burnout. These techniques have been transformative for Hazel's coaching clients, and she is eager to share them with a wider audience. "An invaluable and practical guide - an essential manual for leaders."

When we break free from negative self-talk and embrace a more expansive view of ourselves, there's no limit to what we can accomplish. In The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Self-Esteem, two internationally renowned acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) trainers help readers recognize how the self-critical stories they tell themselves can limit who they are. Using the evidence-based, practical skills in this workbook, readers will develop the self-compassion and self-acceptance they need to lead more fulfilling, values-based lives.

We all have stories we've created about ourselves-some of them positive and some of them negative. If you suffer from low self-esteem, your story may include these types of narratives: "I'm a failure," "I'll never be able to do that," or "If only I were smarter or more attractive, I could be happy." Ironically, at the end of the day, these narratives are your biggest roadblocks to achieving happiness and living the life you deserve. So, how can you break free from these stories-once and for all?Grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this workbook offers a step-by-step program to help you break free from self-doubt, learn to accept yourself and your faults, identify and cultivate your strengths, and reach your full potential. You'll also discover ways to take action and move toward the life you truly want, even when these actions trigger self-doubt. Finally, you'll learn to see yourself in all your complexity, with kindness and compassion.
