Further to my previous articles in this series, ‘Coaching the Human #1: Love’ in early May; and ‘Coaching the Human #2: Shadow’ in early June, here is the third article, ‘Coaching the Human #3: Being’, which was published in early July as part of the ICF wellbeing series.

Uncertainty and Anxiety - Insights from Neuro Science

Posted by Ross Nichols on Wednesday, August 21, 2019, In : Coaching
