Hope is a Strategy

Auteur

Ian Pettigrew is a positive psychology coach who firmly believes that hope is a strategy, having witnessed the power of hope in his own life and of those he works with. He coaches leaders around the world, helping them to address the global hope crisis and put hope into action for themselves, their teams and their organizations.

He is a regular speaker at conferences and was named by HR Magazine as one of HR's Most Influential Thinkers. He is a Gallup-certified strengths coach and a Fellow member of the Association for Coaching.

Ian has very personal experience of the importance of putting hope into action: a motorbike accident on the racetrack resulted in six operations and much pain and effort before he could walk again. Subsequently he broke every bone in his ankle and - whilst recuperating - started training to cycle the height of Everest in a day.

There's a global hope crisis. Here's how to fix it.

Some people say that hope isn't a strategy: Ian Pettigrew strongly believes that it is.

Hopelessness keeps people stuck where they are. Hope is a powerful motivator that helps you focus on what you want and do everything in your power to achieve it. It also helps you navigate the inevitable bumps in the road on the journey. Hope is active, and has nothing to do with naive optimism, wishful thinking or toxic positivity.

This book is for leaders who want to build hope in themselves, their teams, and their organizations, so that they can succeed whilst being happy, engaged, and resilient. Full of evidence-based approaches, interwoven with both extraordinary and everyday stories of hope, it explores what hope really is, and the damage caused by getting it wrong.

Hope changes lives: in this book Ian Pettigrew, strengths coach and one of HR's most influential thinkers, provides a blueprint for leaders to discover it for themselves and to help others find it too.
